Chapter 170: Keep Moving Forward

"Nine six million eight thousand dollars, the first in history!"

This is the day after the new issue of the North American box office charts came out, and the front page headlines of many major newspapers and magazines, the influence of "Jurassic Park" is no longer limited to entertainment, but quickly spreads to all aspects of society, and a wave of dinosaur fever is coming.

"This is an unprecedented feast of joy, bringing North America into a dinosaur paradise in this hot summer, allowing the public to fully experience Arrail? Jenkins' whimsical whimsy. ”

"$96.8 million, this is Ryan? Jenkins and Stephen? Spielberg teamed up to set a record, we don't know how long this record will hold, I can guarantee that the next film script to break this record will still come from Ryan? Jenkins's hands, his ideas have never been broken. ”

"Whether it's the dinosaurs, or the cast and crew of the movie, we've given so much praise that here, I just want to emphasize the old saying, Ryan? Jenkins is a God-given gem for Hollywood! ”

In the face of this chilling box office figure, countless media sang praises, from the film's special effects staff to producers, from actors to directors, who praised them several times.

Of course, as one of the original authors, screenwriters and investors of "Jurassic Park", Ryan was mentioned the most, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps after reading some compliments.

The crew, which is responsible for propaganda, moves from east to west in an orderly manner, causing a huge sensation every time they pass through a city, and they often gather tens of thousands of people outside the theater, among which a large number of teenagers collectively shout 'Ryan', often thousands of meters away.

Although the movie entered its second week, the popularity continued unabated, and there were long queues at the theater box office where "Jurassic Park" was released. Many even lined up outside the theater.

Among these people, there are not a few people who watch repeatedly, and many people have already watched it twice or three times, and they are still not satisfied.

Even the various places that sell movie peripheral products have ushered in a sales peak that has never been seen before, dinosaur dolls are the most in-demand, and they will be sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves, and other products have also appeared out of stock, and manufacturers who have signed agreements with film investors are working overtime to produce. Even so, there is still a situation where demand exceeds supply.

Among them, the re-revised version of the Jurassic Park novel alone sold more than two million copies in ten days.

When Ryan learned of the news, although he remained quiet, he actually had a happy heart.

The promotion of the movie did not stop for a moment, and all kinds of news appeared in the media, which hyped "Jurassic Park" hotly.

The popularity of novels and movies sparked a craze for learning about paleontology in North America. There are many students who are about to enter college and apply for related majors, Dinosaurs and Ryan? Jenkins has become a topic of public conversation.

In particular, the eye-catching amber in the movie has attracted a lot of attention. This peculiar fossil instantly became the darling of the people, although similar peripheral products can be bought, after all, it is not real amber. Many fans choose to buy a piece of real amber as an ornament, which has triggered a wave of price increases in North American amber.

'Life will always find a way out' is like Ryan's 'I can see ghosts' in "The Sixth Sense", which has become a classic movie line. Circulated among countless people.

Just as Ryan and his party were traveling on a plane to promote, the second week passed quietly, and "Jurassic Park" still firmly held the top of the North American box office charts, with a box office figure of 83.05 million, pushing the film's total North American box office by $170 million.

At this time, the whole of Hollywood has lost its voice, and they can only stare wide-eyed, watching the movie, looking at Ryan? What kind of record will Jenkins's other work create?

As for "Furious Flames", it only grossed $9.78 million in its second week, and even so, it still sat at the second place in the North American box office charts.

It can be seen that "Jurassic Park" almost dominated the North American film market in the same period, and all the opponents facing it were as vulnerable as facing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In the headquarters of Sony Columbia, the atmosphere is tight and tense, everyone knows that this year's company's main work "Furious Flames" has encountered Waterloo, 70 million US dollars in production costs, tens of millions of publicity expenses, will definitely lose all money, even if Cruise Pictures will bear a considerable share, but the loss is still a large number.

In the conference room, Sony Columbia is holding a meeting, but this time it is the people of Cruise Films, and Yuken Shimauchi looks at the box office figures of "Furious Flames" and "Jurassic Park", as well as the trend of the next few weeks analyzed by experts, and his eyebrows are almost twisted into a pimple.

The only fantasy is how much investment they can recover from the videotape market, although they signed a long-term screening contract with the theater chain, but when the attendance rate does not meet the minimum requirements, they will definitely be forced to go down.

What's next? Yuken Shimauchi asked himself in his heart, this is his first major investment at the helm of Sony's Columbia film division, and he really doesn't know how to explain to the head office.

"Should we give up our partnership with Cruise Films and go all out to PR Ryan? Jenkins' agent, if she can convince Ryan to partner with us, we can get out of this predicament in no time. ”

A U.S. executive came up with his own proposal.

"Don't forget, he just turned us down for Jumanji's game last year." Someone reminded.

"Please don't forget Jì, we were working with Cruise Films last year, Tom? Is Cruise Ryan? Jenkins's recognized enemy, do you think it was possible for him to agree then? He's not short of money! The executive said again.

"So, want to talk to Ryan? Jenkins cooperation, must give up Tom? Cruise? ”

"Can you take a look, with Ryan? Jenkins has partnerships with companies such as Disney, Warner, Paramount, Miramax and Twentieth Century Fox, which of them after that conflict was with Tom? Did Cruise work with? Again, the executive, he changed his tone, "Haven't you seen it yet?" Tom? Cruise is on a rapid decline, and his box office appeal is not as good as it used to be! ”

No words can be more convincing than facts, look at the bleakness of "Furious Flames", and then think about the popularity of "Jurassic Park", everyone here nodded slightly.

When a person cannot bring benefits to the collaborator, he will definitely be marginalized, which is a common principle in the world.

As Sony Columbia Pictures' film division discussed, as did other studios, the benefits of "Jurassic Park" have led to an entire industry chain, from movies, theaters, toys, novels to video games, and even the obscure paleontology has begun to enter the public eye.

Ryan? How valuable is Jenkins and his work?

The major film companies used to think that they paid enough attention to this thirteen-year-old boy, but now they found that the benefits that the other party can generate are far beyond their imagination.

Hollywood doesn't have many secrets to speak of, and they know very well that in just two weeks, the benefits generated around "Jurassic Park" are no less than the box office figures, and the Jurassic Park set up in Universal Studios is overcrowded every day, which even pulls the entire Universal Studios tour program.

"I want to ask, 'The Lion King' has been dragging on for two years, when will it be finished, I don't want to hear any excuses, I want Ryan? Jenkins' works are released as much as possible! ”

Disney's Board of Directors, Michael? Eisner roared, "Ryan's second solo album, and our next collaboration with him, right away? Jin Sili to talk, as long as the conditions are not excessive, you can talk about it! ”

"How much revenue Jurassic Park generates, I think you all know very well." Ron? Meyer successfully became the CEO of Universal Pictures by virtue of the project he led, "Don't have any irreconcilable contradictions with Ryan, I believe that as long as the cooperation is pleasant, with Ryan's character, "Jurassic Park 2" will still choose Universal!" ”

"Ryan is a nostalgic person, and unless something happens, we can't get hold of a sequel to Jurassic Park." Gerald told Warner Bros.' board of directors that "our first goal is the few scripts he's working on, and the long-term goal is ...... Harry Potter series! I know that the adaptation rights of this series will be a sky-high price, and the major film companies are our competitors, so I will exchange equity for the adaptation rights! ”

"Bob, Miramax is really not as good as the top studios, but we have our own advantages, we have the most enjoyable cooperation with Ryan, and the longest time, as long as we maintain a good relationship with each other, Ryan will remember us, we just need to do what we have to do."

Harvey? Weinstein understands that the skinny boy is growing into a towering tree and has even surpassed his influence in Hollywood, but he knows very well that the cooperation between the two sides is bound to continue.

In the boutiques on Hollywood Boulevard, most of the merchandise is sold out, and looking at the customers who come in full of hope and leave in despair, David? Greeney scolded the delivery company, what time is it now, the fourth batch of peripheral products he ordered has not been delivered yet.

When Chris and the others went to watch "Jurassic Park" for the third time, Jean took the initiative to follow, and when the huge Tyrannosaurus rex roared, what rebellious thoughts, what Tom? Cruise was still in the back of his mind.

Ryan? Jenkins is the guarantee of a great movie! That was his only thought.

After years of hard work and struggle, Ryan has already established himself in Hollywood, and "Jurassic Park" is like a booster, propelling him to the highest level of construction in Hollywood. (To be continued......)
