Chapter 270: About Three Movies

The most impressive thing about the whole movie is the battle for Omaha Beach at the beginning of the film, and the battle of the town at the end of the film, because Omaha Beach is now a protected area and has long been a lost place for many years, the crew had to find a narrow beach in Ireland as a location for location.

The props team and the art team are working on the layout over there, and there is still some time before it is completed.

As a result, Spielberg put the filming of the town's offensive and defensive battles at the forefront, and in some ways, this was also to take care of Ryan, after all, he also had to juggle his studies and so on.

If he misses class for too long, he will encounter a lot of trouble with his grades this semester and his graduation later.

Ryan is one of the investors and producers of the film, and it is normal for him to enjoy a certain amount of preferential treatment, and no one can say anything.

After Spielberg shouted to stop, the rumbling sound finally stopped, and Ryan's first action was to take out the earbuds in the pierced ear, and then sat directly on the ruins, took the water glass handed by George, and drank a big sip.

His body is definitely the best among these actors, and the constant back and forth movement and dodging of the scene just now consumes a lot of energy, and it is inevitable that he will be a little tired.

Ryan is okay, Tom? Hanks sat on the cement block next to him, dressed vigorously, and almost squirted out the water he drank into his mouth.

"Oh my God, it's horrible to have another two months like this." Tom? Hanks finally took a breath and patted the rifle Ryan had placed beside him, "I really envy you. Ryan, it's time to end the scene and return to Los Angeles. ”

"Los Angeles?" Ryan said deliberately in an exclamatory tone. "The sun, the sand, and the beautiful women, it's a paradise life."

"What if you were put on an island? Or a desert island with no people! "Tom? Hanks asked suddenly.

"Desert island?" Ryan scratched his head strangely.

"That's right, Ryan." Tom? Hanks thought about it for a moment, and then said, "After filming Forrest Gump. So I came up with an idea, well......"

"Something to do with a desert island?" Ryan frowned in thought.

"That's right." Tom? Hanks simply sat a little closer, "I think of a modern-day Robinson story." A workaholic with an impatient personality who is stranded on a desert island due to a plane failure, he loses human interaction. The only purpose of life is to survive. Since then, his outlook on life has gradually changed......"

Ryan listening to Tom? Hanks's words, he spoke for about five or six minutes, although he had a rough idea, but he lacked sufficient logic, and the story was quite confusing, and the protagonist would be a FedEx courier at one time, and then a system architect, which can be seen. Uncle Baozi's idea of the story is far from mature enough.

It's not surprising, Tom? Hanks is a good actor. But he is not a good screenwriter or a good director......

"Frankly, Tommy." The two can be regarded as old friends, and Ryan has nothing to taboo, "This story is a bit offbeat, and your framework and logic are too confusing, and then there is the protagonist you said, there is no doubt that this will be a one-man show, and the actors need to have enough explosive performances." ”

"There aren't many actors like that in Hollywood." Ryan added, "Of course, you're one of them. ”

"Hehe, Ryan." Tom? Hanks said very seriously, "I'm sure you're one of them. ”

"What do you mean, Tommy......" Ryan spread his hands.

"Ryan, you know, I'm not the screenwriter." Tom? Hanks stood up and dusted his clothes off, "If you can, take the time to complete this story for me, okay?" ”

"Of course." Ryan nodded in response.

Filming continues, and Ryan's role is gradually coming to an end. Hanks's several rival scenes received a lot of cheers from the crew.

Especially James? The conversation between Ryan and Captain Miller, the beautiful life in the lines and Ryan's joyful expression when reminiscing, reflect the ruins of the battlefield and show a different scene......

This is also Ryan's last scene, and after Spielberg shouted tongguΓ², there was warm applause on the temporary set, both for Ryan's excellent performance just now, and for him to say goodbye.

Although there aren't many scenes, James? Ryan's character has a lot to dig into, he concentrates the image of the most ordinary soldier in the minds of Americans, he will be happy because of the past, he will also cry because of sadness, he will try to stick to his post, complete the tasks assigned by his superiors, and howl because of the fear of death, which is a very representative image in American movies.

Ryan is confident in himself, and in a few rival games, he is no weaker than Tom? Hanks.

It was with this confidence that he returned to Los Angeles and welcomed a big New Zealand fat man who had been preparing for a long time at Jenkins Films.

The large conference room is tightly blocked, and on the silver-white screen in front of it, a full CG picture is slowly playing. Jackson's studio produced scenes of Rivinedell and Minas Stirris, just for a few minutes.

Although the clips can only be described as rough compared to the films of his previous life, Ryan has already seen traces of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in them, and the big fat New Zealand man looks well prepared.

"Peter, can you tell us about a specific film adaptation plan?"

Despite the decision made in his heart, after the clip was played and the lights came back on, Ryan still asked, it was a matter of hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, and he had to be cautious, what if the big fat man in this world had a cramp in his head?

"My plan is to follow the pattern of the novel and make it into a trilogy." Peter? Jackson looked over, and after Ryan made a gesture to continue, he said, "Make the necessary cuts while being as faithful to the original as possible, Frodo?" Baggins and the Fellowship Team will be the focus, as well as the simplistic personalities of Legolas, Gimley, and others......"

The big fat man in New Zealand is simply talking about it, obviously he has been planning for the adaptation for a long time, and he already has a rough plan in his heart, if it wasn't for the copyright issue, I'm afraid he would have started the preparation work a long time ago.

Ryan didn't have any guilt, not to mention anything else, he took action early to integrate the copyright and save Peter from his previous life? Jackson wasted a lot of time and energy because of copyright issues.

So, I'm still a good person! Ryan's skin has reached a certain thickness.

"Do you have a preliminary budget? And the script? ”

Hear Ryan's words, Peter? Jackson perked up, since he had asked so, he must have been very satisfied with himself, "My Weta Studio and I have made a rough estimate, and each movie is only $75 million is enough, ah...... I forgot about it, I plan to shoot the trilogy together, so that I can save a lot of unnecessary expenses, as for the script ......"

He looked at Ryan, a little hesitant.

"So be it, Peter." Glancing at Julis? Stewart, she nodded, obviously approving of the guy, and then, Ryan made a decision, "Peter, the script is still up to your team, and the budget ......"

Peter? Jackson was first delighted, then surprised, "Ryan, $75 million......"

Before he could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted, "Peter, I have a total budget of $300 million for the trilogy, and I may co-invest, I will give you as much power on the set as possible, and I can also accept a part of the investment from Weta Studios, from now on, I want you and your team to be fully committed to this project." ”

"No problem! I promise! ”

This for Peter? For Jackson, it was a complete surprise.

"Alright, Peter, I'll see what you do." Now that the intention has been reached, Ryan naturally assumes the boss's style.

Send Peter away? Jackson and Ryan hurriedly drove to a small theater nearby, where a preview would be held later.

The production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, not to mention the long shooting, just a preliminary preparation. Jackson's plan will take at least a year.

Peter? Jackson needed to build a crew, and after Jenkins Films' upfront funds arrived, he would order sets, domesticate horses, prepare props, select actors, and find suitable locations, which was even more troublesome than science fiction films.

That's part of the reason Ryan doesn't want to get involved.

And he and Peter? After Jackson talked about it, he found that the other party's thinking was roughly the same as the movie in his previous life, and it seemed that this guy was not too affected by butterfly wings, and since this guy did well in his previous life, it would be better to leave it to him to be responsible.

The investment of 300 million US dollars is a lot of pressure for the current Jenkins Films, but fortunately, the advance share of "Titanic" has arrived, and this money does not need to be invested in it at one time.

Of course, if several major film companies are willing to share part of the investment like "Titanic", Ryan welcomes with both hands, with these guys, if those beam-jumping clowns in the previous life still jumped out and chirped crookedly after the movie became a hit, it can be regarded as a powerful thug.

There are some things, although his team has done the best when integrating copyright, but under the temptation of huge interests, some people will inevitably be bewitched.

The car stopped in front of the theater, and Ryan strode in, only to see Nicole and Kinsley walking around the front hall, seemingly waiting in a hurry.

"Is it getting started, Nicole?" He hurriedly asked.

"I'll be waiting for you." Nicole rolled her eyes and pulled Ryan briskly towards the screening room.

The upcoming event here is, of course, "Irene? In the preview of "Brockwich", Ryan and Nicole jointly invited many well-known media personalities, as well as members of the film school, and the purpose can be imagined. (To be continued......)
