Chapter 592: On the Question of the New Script

Although the clownfish is mentioned in "Looking for Nemo" as a saltwater fish, and the saltwater fish tank is cumbersome and expensive to clean and maintain, it is still because of its high popularity, which has caused a wave of pet clownfish purchases in the United States after its release, and many pet stores have put this fish in the most prominent position in the store.

And in populous cities like New York and Los Angeles, clownfish are sold out.

Faced with the clownfish craze among teenagers and the consequent supply crunch, pet shop owners in North America saw a huge business opportunity and tried to reach out to fishmongers in the South Pacific to make a profit from the boom.

In North America, the price of pet clownfish has increased by three to five times.

The high profits naturally spurred people's enthusiasm, and in several areas near Australia, clownfish schools were caught and sold in large quantities because of the demand for pets brought about by the film.

Fortunately, this is not a rare fish, otherwise it is really possible to face extinction, but this has also attracted many protests organized by animal protection organizations, and some guys who love animals more than humans have also run to Burbank Pixar Studio to sit-in protest.

However, even if their protests have not stopped, in the face of huge interests, merchants will only choose to ignore them.

Ryan will certainly not miss any opportunity to hype up the movie, Disney's follow-up promotional activities have not stopped, with the help of negative or positive news, "Looking for Nemo" continues to soar in the animated film market, setting off a wave of ocean craze around the world.

In the following three weeks, the film earned $4.53o, $3.56o and $19.72 million in North America, respectively, and in just over a month, the North American box office accumulated more than $250 million!

At the same time, the global box office has accumulated close to $500 million, and regions such as South America, Hong Kong, South Korea and Eastern Europe have only just begun to be screened, and there is still huge potential to be tapped in the box office.

Like New Zealand at the time of "The Lord of the Rings", "Looking for Nemo" was a hit around the world, driving Australia's tourism industry.

In the past month or so, the tourism revenue of the east coast of Australia has increased by 155% over the same period, and most tourists who visit Australia want to go diving on the east coast of Australia to 'find Nemo'.

In addition, the Tourism Commission of Australia, through Nicole Nicole, has reached an agreement with Disney to buy out the travel rights to "Find Nemo" at a high price, and these clips will be used to promote tourism in Australia in the coming months in tourism promotions in regions including China and the United States.

The news was quickly picked up by the media, who were happy to hype up the news to attract attention, as one well-known travel magazine wrote in its report.

"Are the beautiful but lesser-known tourist areas still struggling with a lack of tourists? Hurry up to Ryan? Jenkins, as long as he can conceive a movie about it, none of this will be a problem! ”

While the hype is a bit exaggerated, "Looking for Nemo" has really taken a toll on Australia's tourism industry.

In addition to the praise for the film for Pixar Studios, many media outlets have also focused on Ryan, such as The Hollywood Reporter.

"Thinking about Ryan's greatness, in addition to the legend of founding the famous Jenkins Pictures and creating the youngest Oscar winner, as well as his prescient purchase of Pixar Studios and becoming the pioneer of 3D computer animation with him, Ryan's prophetic and discerning personal charm is amazing! Animated films such as "Toy Story" created a precedent for 3D animation, and since then, this 3D whirlwind has swept the world, all ages can eat, and captured the hearts of thousands of children's parents and animation fans! ”

Compared with the enthusiastic summer atmosphere, in the period after the release of "Looking for Nemo", in addition to dating and dealing with necessary work, Ryan almost buried himself in the pile of materials.

Disney's authorization negotiations with the CIA culminated in an agreement to adapt the Iranian hostage rescue into a film, but the film had to accept their recommendations.

Ryan happily agreed, after all, this is almost the most classic case of the CIA, and it is also a masterpiece of cooperation between Hollywood and the CIA, and the most important thing is that the other party will not only send professional consultants throughout the filming of the film, but also will not charge any fees including adaptation rights.

You must know that the 9/11 incident has made the CIA a topic of public opinion, and for some time, the CIA has been frequently attacked in the United States, and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security has weakened its position.

The CIA was in dire need of reinventing its image in the public eye, and in their opinion, working with Ryan on a film would certainly be a wise choice.

That's exactly what happened, at least on the surface, the CIA was completely positive in this case.

After the cooperation agreement was reached, a large number of declassified materials were transported from the CIA's headquarters in Venegia to the Disney headquarters in Burbank. Mendez was also brought here by Ryan, and the first draft of his memoir was also in Ryan's hands.

For nearly a month, Ryan not only led several important members of the screenwriting team to review these materials, but also worked with Antonio? Mendez talked about it more than twenty times, after all, he was going to play the unknown or legendary hero of the CIA, and it would be the most bizarre rescue operation - using the disguise of a Hollywood movie crew to go to Iran to rescue the trapped Americans, and finally succeeded.

And the name of this movie was named after the name of the script that the CIA bought at that time - "Argo"!

Movies aren't reality, whether CIA or Antonio? Mendez understands this, and some changes and processing are also necessary.

The current Iran is undoubtedly one of the hostile countries of the United States, which determines the most basic position of the film, and in this position, looking at this incident from a sympathetic or relatively fair perspective can also highlight the bearing of a great power.

As for the opinion of the Iranians, who cares about them, it is basically impossible for Hollywood films to enter that market anyway.

And the movie must meet the tastes of North American audiences and Hollywood, in this case, Antonio as the protagonist? Mendez must become a lone hero living on a hidden front, especially after entering Iran, which must be highlighted, and individual heroism will never go out of style in North American and even in the world's cinema.

Also, have a few pig teammates, the kind that always mess with them at critical moments, eh...... It seems that there is no better person than the president's staff officers, right?

The plot must not be as plain and unremarkable as reflected in the material, it must be tense and exciting enough to escape from the evil armed men at the moment of the moment.

You can also add some Hollywood-style self-deprecation, which are also plots that the audience likes to see.

Of course, the theme of the movie must be clear, and the most basic political policy must be kept correct.

It took about two weeks for Ryan to determine the theme and ideas of the movie, organize the outline of the script, and although some simple scenes were handed over to other screenwriters to write, he would complete most of the main content himself.

Jenkins Manor was unusually quiet at night, barely audible except for the footsteps of the frequently patrolling security guards.

On the brightly lit patio, Ryan sits in a wicker chair, occasionally thinking before his hands fall on the keyboard of his notebook and type down lines of text.

Scene: Visa office of the embassy.

While the people waiting for their visas were overwhelmed, six Americans walked into the lobby, aiming for the back door, where there were no Shiite Iranians......

At this point, Ryan paused, thought for about half a minute, and then revised it again.

After the six Americans entered the hall, the Iranian-speaking embassy assistant shouted to the Iranians waiting for their visas, "Evacuate the embassy building, evacuate the embassy building immediately!" ”

Another helped maintain order while saying, "Let the Iranians go first." ”

He pointed to the passage through the back door, "Hurry up, get out of here right now!" ”

Scene transition: The Iranians are in front, the Americans are in the back, and they flee the embassy through the back door.

This kind of movie, which is deeply involved in politics, can show great Americanism in some appropriate places, and think about it another way, that is, the big brother will definitely shelter the little brother who follows behind the ass.

Looking at the time on the laptop screen, Ryan closed the script file and thought about something else.

The most important thing is the director, actors and props investment, etc., for him and Disney, it is not a problem at all, and choosing a suitable director is undoubtedly the focus of the next work.

In the last week, Ryan has had people with the script outline and Antonio? Part of Mendez's draft memoir was a trial to reach out to several directors.

Like David? Finch, who is preparing "Trembling Space", which was postponed because of directing "Captain America", is still unknown whether he will take the job.

And Martin? Scorsese, Martin Sr. is indeed interested in the subject, but has doubts about the cooperation with Ryan, not whether it will be successful, but not wanting to face such a strong actor and producer in the crew.

And then Stephen? Soderbergh, but this is the last resort, and now Soderbergh's style of filmmaking is becoming more and more realistic, and there is a clear distance from Ryan's goals.

Maybe you can make Ben? Affleck try it?

As soon as this idea came to mind, Ryan himself vetoed it, in that case, it would be better to go directly to Natalie.

The people in his team have not only contacted these people, anyway, the script is not finished yet, there is enough time to find a suitable director, Ryan is not in a hurry, and the main three candidates have not clearly refused so far. rs
