Chapter 42: Seattle Sleepless Nights
Which schedule should be chosen for a romantic and warm aiqing movie? Valentine's Day for sure! The premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" was chosen for the night of February 13.
Ryan still appeared on the red carpet with Nicole, and although he was only attending the premiere of the film for the second time, this is no longer the case, and the two of them were both nominated for Oscars for Best Supporting Actor and began to have fans of their own.
Especially Ryan's role in "Home Alone" has won him the love of countless teenagers, on both sides of the red carpet, a large number of young men and women holding up the posters of Home Alone, when he waved, he let out a scream far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Ryan, it looks like you're far more popular than I am." Nicole joked.
"That's because there are not only movie fans here, but also a lot of book fans." He had already seen that those fans were holding up not only the posters, but also the books, which looked like "Jurassic Park" and two Harry Potter.
"Ryan~" screams are getting louder and louder.
"Go ahead, and don't let them down." Nicole patted him gently.
Ryan walked over, took a small pen from his dress pocket, took a copy of Jurassic Park, signed his name on the title page, and said with a smile, "Xiexie, everyone's support." β
"Ryan, is the third episode of Harry Potter really going to be published in March?" When a girl handed over the autograph, she asked.
"Yes, if nothing else, it should be around March 10th." Ryan asked, "What do you call it?" β
"Jenny!"
"Well, Jenny, may your smile always shine." He wrote a message of congratulations after his signature.
This is the premiere of the movie, Ryan can't wait too long, after signing about ten or so, he pointed to Nicole who was slowly walking forward, and said, "I'm sorry, I can only go here today, Nicole is waiting for me." β
The fans were satisfied to hear him confirm the release date of the third Harry Potter episode, and in another scream, Ryan took a few quick steps to catch up with Nicole.
"Wow, he's beautifully written." There is a girl who sighs.
"People are much more handsome than before."
"I heard that he was studying at St. John's Elementary School, how about we turn around?"
The premieres of all the films were much the same, with a routine group photo with the crew and a few innocuous questions answered, Ryan walked into the theater, and out of confidence in Ryan, Miramax invited quite a few people this time.
Greeted a few acquaintances in the field, he and Harvey? Weinstein exchanged some opinions, and although most people at the preview thought it was a great movie, Mr. Fat was sober and understood that the film couldn't reach the heights of "The Sixth Sense."
"With an investment of $20 million, we estimate that the North American box office will exceed 100 million." Harvey? Weinstein said, then looked at the boy who wasn't as tall as his shoulders, "Ryan, do you have any new ideas?" β
"Come on, Harvey, do you think I'm an idea vending machine?" Ryan glared at him angrily, you know, when this guy was promoting, he hit Ryan early? Under the banner of Jenkins' first aiqing work, many reporters are asking him if he has a girlfriend.
That's a weird question! That was the only thing he had on his mind at the time, well! He admits that in some respects he still doesn't quite fit into Western thinking.
After the people around him dispersed, Harvey? Weinstein grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "News from the crew of Terminator 2 that you are working on another script while you're not filming. β
"That's the thing." Ryan didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "The script is for James?" Cameron's, are you sure you want to invest in the films he makes? β
The fat man was stunned on the spot, but he knew that the investment in "Terminator 2" had exceeded 100 million US dollars, and it was said that Cameron was still asking the producer for additional investment, and now anyone who sees him has a headache.
"The script is actually almost already written, and James estimates that the investment is likely to exceed that of "Terminator 2"!" Ryan's words completely dispelled Weinstein's thoughts, even if he won the script, changing the director would probably still be a big investment, and Miramax couldn't afford it now.
Get rid of Harvey? Winestein, Ryan returned to Nicole's side, and when he saw the person Nicole enthusiastically introduced to him, he owed slightly, "Miss Foster, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"You can call me Judy, Ryan, I'm friends with Nicole, don't be so polite." The boy scratched his head a little, Judy? Foster and Nicole? Kidman will be friends, which one is this? Won't it ......
Shaking his head, throwing those unreliable ideas out of the clouds, Ryan had read a lot of information about her in his previous life and knew that she should have a regular same-sex partner.
She can be said to be the most successful child star in the transition, but she still encountered big problems during the transition period, crazy fan John? Hinckley, in his unsuccessful pursuit of her, went so far as to assassinate then-Federal President Ronald Reagan in order to get her attention, and although the elder Reagan was lucky enough to only stay in bed for six months, Judy? Forster had to take a temporary retirement for this.
Isn't that right? Ryan suddenly remembered another thing, in his previous life, he had watched "The Silence of the Lambs" at least ten times, and he remembered very clearly, this movie should have premiered the day before Valentine's Day, that is, today, why Judy? Foster, the heroine, came here?
"In fact, "The Silence of the Lambs" was indeed scheduled to premiere today, but the producers felt that the atmosphere of the movie was too different from Valentine's Day, so it was postponed for a while." Ryan asked, Judy? Foster replied.
"I see." Ryan nodded, that movie is really not suitable for Valentine's Day to watch, and the little couple went to see the cannibal professor, it was really weird.
"Nicole, have time to take Ryan to my place."
Before entering the screening room, Judy? Foster sent out an invitation.
Frankly speaking, the plot of this movie is very clichΓ©, and the bridges are basically used by Hollywood, but it is undeniable that this kind of online dating radio station aiqing is very creative in this era, not to mention, whether it is Tom? Hanks, or Nicole? Kidman has played each character in a different way.
In particular, the plot of the Empire State Building touched many people, and at the end of the movie, some people had tears in their eyes.
After the warm applause, Ryan deliberately walked in front of the future American good man, "Mr. Hanks, your performance is very wonderful, if this movie is missing you and Nicole, it will definitely be a disaster." β
βxiexieγ Ryan, you can call me Tommy. "Obviously, Tom? Hanks is very good at being a person, "When I was in the crew, I often heard Nicole talk about you, and I sometimes found it hard to imagine that such an aiqing-themed script would come from the hands of a child, and I later found all your works to read, to be honest, Ryan, you are really a genius." β
"Xiexie you, Tommy." The boy laughed too, and everyone liked to hear good things.
He only provided the script for the film, and didn't even go to the press conference after the premiere, hiding in the car early, and waited for nearly an hour before Nicole arrived.
"Did something happen? Do you look tired? He asked Nicole, who had gotten into the car.
"What else, if you don't go, those people are all aiming at me." Nicole rubbed the corners of her forehead with a helpless smile on her face, "They are all asking what made you write such a touching aiqing story, and asking me if you had a girlfriend at school, oh God!" β
Nicole suddenly covered her forehead, and her mood seemed to fluctuate a little, but then she recovered, "There are also reporters counting your work last year, two plays, and an unpublished Harry Potter ......"
"Are you describing me as a monster again? Or do you have a whole creative team for me? β
"Do you think with the income of the two of us, we can support such a creative team? Can they still dedicate themselves silently and don't mind standing behind the stage for the rest of their lives? Nicole laughed and shook Ryan's hand, "No one knows better than I know how good you are!" β
There is no doubt that this is a very suitable movie to watch on Valentine's Day, the content is warm and touching, and it has naturally become the first choice for couples to watch movies.
Now is not a hot summer and Christmas file, firstly, there is no strong competitor, secondly, you can win more theaters for the movie, after the first week, more than 2,000 theaters, the film has received a box office of 27.14 million US dollars, and with more Christmas movies offline, the follow-up theater will increase, according to this momentum, the North American box office over 100 million seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Ryan doesn't care about any of this, he has to go back to the crew, if he's late, trust James? Cameron would definitely let him NG hundreds of times in a single shot, and he didn't want to touch the mold of that tyrant on the set.
Of course, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that the media will let him go, and many newspapers and magazines have taken him out to talk about things, and even took stock of last year's works for him.
In particular, Miramax took the opportunity to start the hype again.
"Until now, Ryan? Jenkins has three scripts that have been put on the big screen, except for "The Sixth Sense" was created in 1989, "Home Alone" and "Sleepless in Seattle" were both written last year, a few days ago, we learned from Miramax's insiders that the latter two scripts were created by Ryan in two months at the same time, of course, "Home Alone" is an adaptation, but even so, his efficiency is terrifying, I don't know how those screenwriters who can't find inspiration for a script for months will feel? β
"What an insider! It's Harvey? Weinstein! This is Ryan's evaluation after reading it, "If I let the big fat man hype it up again, one day I will become a monster with two horns on his head and wings on his back!" β
In fact, he knows very well that his creative speed is slightly faster than his age, but 90% of the things he writes basically do not need to be conceived, as for inspiration? His outstanding artistic talent allows him to capture every detail of his life and creation.
