Chapter 241: The Manor
Even though it's just a vase character, for Naomi? Watts, however, is a rare opportunity, after coming here for several years, she has deeply realized the importance of opportunities, thinking back to the beginning, she thought Nicole? What Kidman said was just perfunctory, and it wasn't until he came to Hollywood that he found that actors who don't have any fame or masterpieces want to get ahead, and it's far more difficult than imagined.
She accepted the film contract without hesitation, and at the same time fired her current agent, and threw herself into the arms of KK's agency. Under Kidman's introduction, he got to know many celebrities in the circle.
At this point, she found out, Nicole? Kidman's influence has long exceeded the scope of stars, and all this is only because there is another person standing behind her.
Remember the first time you met Ryan? Jenkins, who was a mild-mannered boy back then, is now one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.
In the latest annual ranking of Hollywood's most powerful people, Ryan made it into the top 10 for the first time, and although he only ranked ninth, he is only 17 years old and has a long way to go.
After entering March, "Cat and Mouse Game" completely fell off the shelves in North America, with a box office figure of nearly $250 million, becoming the runner-up in the North American box office list after "Independence Day", and "Independence Day" also came from Ryan from the script to the planning.
However, "Cat and Mouse" is a typical film about Americans, and it will inevitably weaken at the overseas box office, and according to Ryan's estimates, it will be difficult to reach the global box office of half a billion dollars.
Even so, this is for DreamWorks and Jenkins Films. is already a huge profit, this ironclad fact proves that Ryan is in terms of actors. still has a strong box office appeal.
As soon as the movie was released, the DreamWorks triumvirate held a celebration party, and in any case, this was the first film to be printed with the DreamWorks logo.
Of course, they also want to continue to work with Ryan and Jenkins Films. Even if they are surrounded by wolves, they are confident that with Spielberg's good relationship. Grab a piece of fat.
Besides, DreamWorks, Universal Pictures, and Jenkins Pictures are working on "Jurassic Park 2" and "Saving Private Ryan" next.
Although that doesn't belong to Ryan? Jenkins, but he was willing to agree to play a role in it. Definitely optimistic about this script.
As for his vision. How many people in Hollywood are still skeptical?
The New Englander's 'Observing Titanic' column is purely for the sake of opposition.
The Big Three jointly sent out an invitation, but the celebration party was held in a somewhat special location, which was located on the Santa Monica Pier, David? A luxury yacht that Geffen has just acquired.
Ryan stepped on the yacht alone, which was more than 350 feet long, and from the perspective of his experience of the filming of "Titanic", this ship could not only be launched, but also in terms of luxury, compared to the top cabin of the model ship that stood in Rosario.
Thinking of boats. Ryan couldn't help but sigh so far. The crew also did not find a home for the model ship, and if there is still no change after the movie is released, it will only repeat the fate of selling scrap in the previous life.
"Hey, Ryan, what's the matter, Nicole?"
Led by the waiter, he had just stepped up to the top of the yacht, Stephen? Spielberg greeted him.
"She and director Soderbergh led the crew to the Mojave Desert, and her new film is about to start shooting." After all, there was a copy of Nicole in the invitation, and Ryan explained it briefly.
"A movie based on that lawsuit?" Spielberg had vaguely heard of it.
"yes, Stephen." Ryan said as he walked with him towards the crowd, "That Erin?" A biopic of Brockwich. ”
"Hi David!"
Ryan vs. David first? Geffen shook hands and then with Catherine around him? Kennedy and the others greeted each other one by one, and then said, "This is really a big deal, a very beautiful yacht." ”
"Aren't you going to order one, Ryan?" Someone compliments the yacht, it seems that David is more than complimenting DreamWorks? Geffen is happy, this guy is a crazy yacht collector.
"I have a bigger ship in Mexico, are you interested, David?" Ryan took the juice from the waiter's hand and laughed.
"Come on, Ryan, can that ship go to sea?" David? Geffen naturally understood which one he was talking about.
"Absolutely." Ryan raised his glass to him and took a sip of juice, "If you don't mind if it sinks into the sea." ”
"Then no one will fight you for Jack? Warner Manor. "In the afterglow of the setting sun, David? Finch's bald head is exceptionally bright.
"David, you already have so many properties, do you still care about this manor?" Ryan feigned displeasure and said, "I don't have a place to live of my own. ”
Ever since Natalie mentioned independence, Ryan has given way to Pie? Jinsili is looking for a suitable manor, and it makes sense to live with her guardian before the age of eighteen, if she still lives with Nicole after the age of eighteen, it will definitely cause a lot of suspicion, the paparazzi are not fools, all along, they want to dig out Nicole's emotional secrets, because only female close friends have good friends, not that there is no media suspect that she is gay.
It didn't take long for Kingsley to have a target, it was the Jack he mentioned? Warner Estate.
This is a luxury estate that has gone through most of Hollywood's history, and was built by Jack, one of the founders of Warner Bros. Warner, the estate not only has more than 100 suites, but also a considerable number of works of art are sold in the mansion, including the floor where Napoleon stood when he proposed to Josephine.
Such an estate sells for a lot of money, and its current owner has made an offer of up to $50 million.
Surely, such a estate has a large number of potential customers, Ryan and David? Geffen is the buyer with the strongest desire to buy.
"Ryan, it seems to me that Hearst Manor is a better fit for you."
"Come on, David." Ryan waved his hand. "It's too big, how many people do I have to hire to make that manor seem popular?"
"Okay." David? Geffen raised his glass to him. "Ryan, you owe me a favor."
"Oh God, you're really looking for a chance." Ryan touched his glass.
"Need I introduce you?"
David? Geffen gestured to the bustling crowd that it was not only Hollywood figures who came today, but also many media industry practitioners.
"I can't ask for it."
Each circle has its own boundaries, David? Geffen is one of the richest people in the United States, of course. Ryan can also be considered one of the super-rich.
Needless to say, the characters in the film industry have heard of even if Ryan doesn't know them. There are quite a few executives in the media industry who have dealt with them before.
"Hello, Mr. Murdoch."
It's a Jewish, very famous. Although the reputation is not very good.
"Oh. Ryan. Murdoch shook Ryan's hand hard, "You can call me Rupert." ”
"Well, Rupert, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Actually, we've been working together very happily." He was referring to Twentieth Century Fox.
"We would have been happier if the New York Post and Newsweek had attacked me a few fewer times."
Ryan was naturally joking, and he looked at Murdoch's side, it was a white woman, and it seemed that the woman in his previous life had not yet appeared.
Murdoch laughed. Make a gesture please, Ryan to David? Geffen beckoned. Walked to the fence of the yacht.
"I rarely interfere in the running of the newspaper below." Murdoch leaned on the fence and looked out to the sea in the distance, "there was a need for propaganda......
He made a gesture you understand.
"Yes!" Ryan raised his glass to him.
It is important to know that most of the blockbuster movies of Twentieth Century Fox in recent years have come from the cooperation with Jenkins Films, and the two sides now have quite a lot of common interests.
Despite not liking News Corp's style, Ryan doesn't mind if his collaborators are angels or devils as long as he gets enough benefits.
Rupert? Murdoch naturally knows, Ryan? Jenkins is not just a popular star, he represents a huge industry chain.
If possible, he would like to buy each other's Blizzard Entertainment and Pixar Studios, even if it is in the form of a share swap merger, but those who have this idea will all run into a wall.
chatted with Murdoch about the entertainment industry a few more words, Ryan said goodbye and left, in the face of these real giants, his current net worth is obviously insufficient, and the other party values him, more because he can bring huge benefits.
"Ryan."
Not far away, I saw another giant of DreamWorks.
"Hello, Jerryver."
After saying hello, Ryan thought that Katzenberg was going to buy the rights to "Shrek" again, but he didn't expect to mention an animated feature film produced by DreamWorks.
"You've probably heard of it, Ryan."
Jerryver? Katzenbergra took Ryan to the rest area on the second deck, sat down and asked for a drink, and then said, "DreamWorks is working on an animated version of "The Prince of Egypt" for "Exodus", and the animation department has discussed it, and would like to invite you to write and sing the theme song of the movie, and if you can, voice Moses?" ”
"No problem." That's a good thing, and Ryan didn't even think about it.
"When will that be done?" This guy is a little too anxious.
"I haven't read the script, I haven't seen the clips of the movie, it's a bit of a strong man's difficulty, right?" Ryan couldn't help but spread his hands.
"You can make it from the book of Exodus."
"This ......"
Ryan scratched his face, he wouldn't tell this guy that he hadn't read anything like the Old Testament of the Bible.
In the West, if you openly declare yourself an atheist, wait to be drowned out by the criticism of public opinion.
Of course, Ryan wasn't an atheist anymore.
"Then it's decided, I'll have people contact Pat as soon as possible." Katzenberg hurried away.
"He's really anxious."
On the other side of the deck, in the shadows, a woman flashed. (To be continued......)
