Chapter 226: The Most Special One
On the night before the Thanksgiving holiday, the premiere of "Cat and Mouse" arrived on time, and the theater was chosen at Chandler Hall at the Los Angeles Music Hall, and from after noon, a large number of young men and women between the ages of 16 and 25 began to gather around to see their idols grow up on the first red carpet.
"Nicole, are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
In the lobby of the villa, Ryan changed into a well-fitting dress and walked downstairs, only to see three women chatting about something in the living room.
"Judy, Kate, you're here." Ryan greeted the other two.
"Honey, we're leaving." Nicole beckoned to Ryan and picked up her handbag with Judy? Foster and Kate? Blanchett walked out of the villa together.
"Alright, George, we're two of us left." Ryan shrugged his shoulders at Mr. Bodyguard.
"It's time for us to go, Ryan." George looked at the time and reminded.
As the black Bentley drove into the end of the red carpet, Ryan saw the three Nicole walk into Chandler Hall, shook his head, straightened his dark bow tie, and stepped out of the car and stepped onto the red carpet for the first time in a long time.
The flash lights were as dazzling as the aurora borealis, and the cheers around the red carpet were like waves, even if it was the first time in more than two years, as long as he stood on the carpet, he was the center of the audience, the center of attention.
As Time magazine summed up, Ryan? Jenkins represents not only a name, but also a phenomenon.
"It's been a long time. My stage. ”
Ryan said a word silently in his heart, revealing a confident and proud smile, a unique aura that belongs to successful people, and suddenly exuded.
"Oh, God! He's so special! A photojournalist muttered to his companion while pressing the shutter, "Handsome and resolute, easy-going and calm, proud and confident, intelligent and sensitive...... I've never seen anyone interpret these qualities so perfectly. He's the most special one! ”
The voices coming from both sides of the red carpet were starting to get a little cluttered. It quickly became a rhythm, and the sound of 'Ryan' seemed to be no less than it had been a few years earlier.
"Hi guys."
Waving to both sides, Ryan walked to the side of the red carpet. Say hello to these men and women who are bordering on madness. I took the pen in my hand. Scratch your name on what they handed you.
Although most of the movie posters handed to me are "Cat and Mouse Game", there are also many novels and records.
"Ryan, I love you! I will always support you! There are a lot of shouts like that.
"Remember. Ryan, you belong to all of us, don't disappear again! "Some female fans came over like crazy.
Five security guards were keeping a firm eye on Ryan to prevent the female fans from acting too out of line.
"You're so handsome, Ryan, I'm going to marry you......"
"Let me be your girlfriend......"
"This is my phone, I'm waiting for ...... at any time"
There are also many crazy words like this, Ryan turned a deaf ear, and after signing more than a dozen names as he walked, he walked back to the red carpet.
Though alone, Ryan walked through the commotion no less than a small riot, with security guards on both sides of the red carpet staring at him, hoping that the scourge would run into Chandler's Hall to free them from the misery.
"Hi, Tommy."
Walk to the interview area, Ryan and Tom? Hanks hugged him and said exaggeratedly, "God, how did you manage to lose weight so quickly." ”
Compared to when it was filmed, Tom? Hanks has regained his Forrest Gump figure.
"Eat less and exercise more, it's as simple as that." Tom? Hanks winked his eyes.
"Ryan, can you say a few words?" A reporter shouted.
This is still an acquaintance, John of the Los Angeles Times' entertainment section reporter? Bennet, is that Mick? Taylor's former assistant, who has risen to become editor-in-chief of the Entertainment Edition.
"Hi John, I haven't seen him in a few years, I heard that Mick has been promoted to editor-in-chief, help me say hello to him." Ryan put away his smile and waved to the other reporters.
"Ryan, it only took a month and a half to shoot the movie, will such a fast speed affect the quality of the film?"
"There's a phenomenon in Hollywood called Spielberg speed, which is synonymous with quality and quantity." Ryan said calmly.
"You bought the rights to adapt this autobiography a few years ago, and you are one of the planners and producers of this film, did you prepare this role for yourself a long time ago?"
"So to speak."
"You enrolled in the USC Film School, and some people reported that your homework grades were worrying, is this true, and a person familiar with the matter revealed that you once had an intimate chat with a girl on campus, is that your girlfriend, who is she?"
"I don't answer questions that have nothing to do with the film."
Throwing down the last sentence, Ryan left the interview area without looking back, and after a routine group photo, walked into Chandler Hall.
After greeting Nicole from afar, Ryan is taken by Spielberg to the vicinity of the other two giants of DreamWorks.
"Hello, David, and Javifer." Ryan vs. David? Geffen and Jaredford? Katzenberg shook his hand one by one.
"Ryan, we've seen the demos, your performance is so good, Tommy is in front of you, you can't take any advantage." David? Geffen knew that it wasn't just an actor standing in front of him.
"It's over." Ryan modestly said, "This is the credit of Stephen, he uses a unique rhythm to mobilize the state of every actor." ”
"I heard that Jenkins Pictures is looking for a partner for Men in Black, how about thinking about DreamWorks?" David? Geffen continued.
"I'm sorry, David." Jon? Landau walked over, "We've reached an agreement with Ms. Stewart that Warner and Twentieth Century Fox will be involved in the co-production of this film. ”
"You're moving so fast." David? Geffen has never hidden its ambition to turn DreamWorks into a giant.
"Actually, it's Ryan who moves the fastest."
Katzenberg, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "We found William? Steiger wanted to buy the rights to adapt his comics, but I didn't expect Jenkins Films to be one step ahead of us. ”
"Ryan, can you transfer the movie rights to Shrek to DreamWorks?" He looked at Ryan.
"I've heard Stephen say that you're working on 'The Story of Brother Ant' and 'Prince of Egypt', and you still have the energy to devote to the new animation?" This is a tactful refusal, and even if Ryan wanted to work with DreamWorks Animation Studios, he wouldn't be now.
Strictly speaking, DreamWorks' first three animations weren't much of a success, and it was Shrek that turned them around completely, making DreamWorks Animation Studios the most profitable department in the entire DreamWorks.
When they are most difficult, they can propose some suggestions, such as separating the animation department separately, such as providing financial support, and only need to get a part of the shares in it.
Friendship is friendship, business is business, and Ryan has accepted Scott at this point? Swift's rigorous training.
When did DreamWorks start in a financial and debt crisis? It seems to be after the failure of the two super blockbusters "Into the Golden City" and "Pearl Harbor".
Blast is definitely a genius, and he has pit DreamWorks twice in a row in the new century, and the one after "Pearl Harbor" almost killed DreamWorks.
"Brave Death Island" was ignored by himself, and that "Peerless Tribulation" can't be let go, and he must push the explosive shell to the height of his previous life.
Ryan entertained a few people, while thinking wildly, as long as it was an opportunity to strengthen his strength, he did not plan to let go, the more resources he had in his hands in the future, the less pressure he would face, except for Nicole and Natalie's thoughts, there were not many things that really made him care.
Having said that, it is luck to be able to get the movie copyright of "Shrek", some time ago, when he was teaching Taylor music, he happened to see the little guy flipping through this comic, and then he remembered this classic animated movie, hurry up and give way to Pie? Jin Sili contacted the original author and used a lot of means, so she bought the adaptation rights at a high price.
In addition, Garcia's investigation of Charlie and Angels has also yielded results, and "Charlie's Angels" was acquired by Flower Pictures, in which he has a stake.
Shaking his head without a trace, Ryan knows that it has become extremely difficult to buy the movie rights of books or TV series nowadays, and "Shrek" and "Charlie's Angel" are also tossed and turned. Barrymore just got his hands on it.
Right! There is also the kung fu panda, who has already used it to coax several children, so it is better to write it out quickly, and if there is trouble in the future, it will be good in the next issue of "Vanity Fair".
"Hey, Ryan, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that most of the people around Ryan have dispersed, Carter? Eisner walked over.
"It's been a long time, Carter." This guy has a very different style than his uncle, and Ryan has always had a good sense for him.
"Reed and John asked me to ask, when will the next album start to be prepared?"
"Next album?"
Ryan's album was only a one-piece signing before he was sixteen, and now he has fulfilled the contract between the two parties, "Let's put it this way, Carter, I'm going to focus all my energy on movies, and even if I release songs, it's only a matter of interest, releasing singles or EPs, and ......"
Speaking of which, Ryan made a gesture that you understand.
After the release of "Toy Story", the Disney board of directors became a laughing stock. It's no secret that Jenkins has cracks throughout Hollywood.
Carter? Eisner knew that his uncle had lashed out at Ryan on the board? Jenkins, this kind of words will definitely be spread to Ryan's ears by those who have a heart, and Disney's policy is indeed changing, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a place to manipulate, and he had many interest alliances to consider, I'm afraid that his uncle would have suppressed him a long time ago.
Everyone, including those within Disney, knew that the cooperation between them could not be restored to what it used to be. (To be continued......)
