Chapter 171 - An Investment of $200 Million

When the third week passed, the weekly box office of "Jurassic Park" finally dropped significantly, but the box office figure of less than $61 million still firmly sat firmly in the top position of the weekly box office chart, so far it has broken a series of records in film history.

The highest box office figures in the first week, the fastest to break 100 million, the fastest to break 150 million, and the fastest to break 200 million were all included in "Jurassic Park".

In fact, industry insiders know that it is only a matter of time before it becomes the total box office champion in film history.

After entering the fourth week, "Jurassic Park" finally slowed down its momentum, and the previous long queues for tickets gradually decreased, and other film companies breathed a sigh of relief, as long as "Jurassic Park" does not explode again, their films still have a lot of hope to get a piece of the pie from this summer file.

After twenty days of intensive publicity, the crew returned to Los Angeles, and at this time, everyone's faces were not only tired, but also irrepressible excitement, after all, they created a miracle together, and this miracle continues!

Now is not the time to relax, in late July, "Jurassic Park" will go out of North America and fully land in the overseas market, after a short break and adjustment, the crew will be divided into two routes, respectively to Europe and the Far East, to launch a new round of publicity.

If you want the movie to be a big hit at the box office as well as overseas, a fierce publicity offensive is an indispensable means, and the income of this movie is closely related to him, and Ryan will naturally not refuse.

"It feels so good to be at home!"

Back at his villa in Beverly Hills, Ryan took a long breath, the exhaustion on his face vanishing.

"Lisa, let people put their luggage upstairs, call Mr. Zhou's restaurant, and order a Chinese lunch, the old rule."

Nicole instructed the housekeeper, "And also. Taylor will be over right away and order a few of her favorite meals. ”

After getting out of the car, Ryan gave Scott? Swift makes a phone call and asks him about his investments, only to have his increasingly sharp-tongued daughter clamoring to come over when she hears that he and Nicole are back.

Long before the release of "Jurassic Park", Ryan received detailed information about Blue Sky Studios, he is not a computer, and he knows Pixar because of Steve? Jobs's resume is so famous, Blue Sky Studios he only knows the name and those few animated films. There is no other way to find out about it.

Fortunately, because of Pixar, he knew that there was a John in Blue Sky Studios? Lasseter's friend - Chris? Wedge, this is the confirmation that this Blue Sky Studio is the other Blue Sky Studio.

Despite all the effort, Scott bought more than 80% of the shares of Blue Sky Studios at a price that people couldn't refuse, and the rest were naturally left to a few founders.

"Ryan!"

A crisp girl's voice came from the door of the villa, and Ryan replied without thinking about it. "I'm not here!"

"Where's my gift!"

In the midst of dense footsteps, a small hand with a red agate bracelet reached out in front of him.

"Gifts? Well...... In the gift shop, of course. ”

Ryan pursed his lips, he knew very well that the little girl in front of him was often talking to Natalie on the phone, and she had long been taught badly.

"Hmph~ stingy ghost."

Taylor pouted. looked at Nicole very politely and greeted obediently, "Hello, Nicole." ”

"Hello. Taylor, how did you get here? Nicole hugged her to the couch.

"The driver sent me here."

The Swifts are now standard rich, with more than just Ryan's commissions. There is also a dividend from Jenkins Films.

"Ryan, go and bring me the gift I prepared during the salute." Nicole still likes children very much, especially since the relationship between the two families is not ordinary.

Of course, if the other party rolls the golden beans without moving, Ryan will also like her very much, but unfortunately once this guy is not as good as she wants, he will cry to you, making one head become two big.

Ryan went to Nicole's room first, found the latest version of Barbie from the suitcase, and then went to his room, and took out a set of limited-edition dinosaur models from the glass cabinet, which was not a bargain on the market, but a memento made by ILM for the main members of the crew.

I'm just a big wrongdoer! Ryan sighed that every time the little guy downstairs came here, he was like a rat in the barn, even eating and taking, and most of his limited edition things were cheaper for her.

After a long time of grinding upstairs, Ryan walked down the stairs and found that Nicole had already taken Taylor into the dining room, and the ordered lunch was on the white table.

"Is this for me, Ryan?"

The first thing the little girl saw was the two big boxes in Ryan's hand, her smiling eyes were bent, and she pointed to the chair next to her, "Just put it on this, I'll open it myself." ”

Well, you're a privileged class now, and I'm not going to bother with you! Ryan put down the box of gifts and walked around to the other side of the table, so he didn't want to sit with the troublemaker.

"Ahh

In just a short period of time, Taylor flexibly opened a box and was holding a Barbie with a smile, and then she opened another box, and after seeing the realistic dinosaur model, she smiled even more happily.

"Honey, you should say thank you to me!"

After waiting for a long time, Ryan found that she didn't have the consciousness to thank her at all.

"Really? I think I said it......"

She will soon be four years old, and not only will she speak fluently, but she will also become smarter.

"Alright, Ryan, let's eat."

Nicole spoke, and Ryan shrugged his shoulders, picked up his knife and fork, and concentrated on the food in front of him.

The three of them chatted while eating, and most of the time Nicole coaxed the children, and Taylor seemed to like her and always greeted her with a smile.

"I don't like kids, Austin cries so much, he's sick all the time, he's too noisy sometimes."

When Nicole asked about her brother, Taylor said this, and Ryan only pouted, as if she was talking about herself except for the illness.

"I'm full."

Soon, the little girl put down the spoon in her hand, rolled her sapphire blue eyes, and bent down from under the table to Ryan's side. "I want to listen to the guitar! I want to listen to the guitar! ”

"Then you'll have to wait until I'm done eating, right?"

Ryan pulled back the hand she had pulled away, and rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Okay then...... After eating, you must play, and you are not allowed to talk about conditions! ”

However, not long after Ryan and Nicole finished their lunch and walked into the living room, someone came to visit, and it was James? Cameron.

"Jim, why are you here?" Nicole asked him strangely after asking him to sit down.

"yes, why don't you make a phone call before you come. We had just finished a hearty lunch. Ryan was joking on purpose.

"I'm here in Beverly Hills on an errand, and I just heard you're back, so I'll stop by and have a look."

We're old friends, James? Cameron wasn't polite, "Congratulations yet, Ryan, Nicole." ”

"Oh, and this little lady, can you tell me your name?" Cameron looked at the little girl sitting next to Nicole.

"Taylor. Taylor? Swift, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Cameron! ”

When dealing with outsiders, Taylor appears extremely polite and cultured. It's not at all the usual naughty and mischievous look.

"You know me?" Faced with Cameron's question, Taylor explained unhurriedly, "Uh-huh~ Ryan's photo album has photos of you and many people. ”

"That's right......" Cameron smiled at Taylor and looked at Ryan and Nicole. I'm here to remind you that don't forget to attend the premiere of True Lies. ”

"You're such a responsible producer!" Ryan said teasingly.

"No way, a $130 million investment. If I mess up, I'll have to leave Hollywood. Cameron raised an eyebrow, "Ryan, I'm going to kidnap you before I leave!" ”

"Don't even think about it, Jim." Nicole glared at him.

"'True Lies' was released on Independence Day, and at that time the momentum of 'Jurassic Park' must have fallen, and there was nothing to worry about." Ryan shrugged.

"And, Ryan!" It seems that the next words are Cameron's true purpose, ""True Lies" is about to be released, you promised me the idea on Arnold's pie, and I am still waiting to go to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with you to see that giant ship with my own eyes!" ”

"Well, wait a minute!"

Ryan got up and walked upstairs, entered his room, dug out several thick bags from his suitcase, took one of them, put the rest in the bookcase, and returned to the living room.

In the months after the Oscars, including the leisure time during the promotion, he was not idle, and the several scripts he wrote at the beginning of the year were basically completed, and even the new episode of Harry Potter was almost ready.

"Jim." Ryan handed over the bag, and said while Cameron flipped through it, "I built yì We spent two years to make preliminary preparations, and it is necessary to build a one-to-one model ship, and all kinds of equipment on the ship are best ordered from the original manufacturer." ”

He gave James? Cameron is naturally the Titanic that has been mentioned a long time ago, and there is also the classic "My Heart is Eternal".

Cameron nodded, and Ryan continued, "This ship is about showing not only disaster, but also the power of industrial civilization, which is what you do best, isn't it?" ”

"Of course!"

James? Cameron wasn't polite at all.

"I've written the specific relevant suggestions in it, as for adopting or not adopting, it's up to you, Jim." What Ryan wrote was nothing more than some reproduction of zuò in his previous life, such as the tableware that forgot to engrave the name of the White Star Company, etc., which would save a considerable amount of money and invest in the post-production of Zuò, "Finally, Jim, Jenkins Films can invest $100 million in this movie, and the remaining $100 million will depend on you to pull the investment!" ”

"What?"

Cameron and Nicole exclaimed at the same time, although they are used to seeing big investments and big productions, but the production budget of 200 million dollars is too crazy.

"Don't forget, Jim, we're going to build a one-to-one Titanic!" Ryan emphasized, "As long as "True Lies" does not suffer Waterloo, with the combined strength of the two of us, it is not a big problem to pull in another $100 million investment!" ”

"That's right!"

Cameron nodded, whether it was for Ryan or himself, he had strong confidence, "Then that's it for now, don't forget to attend the premiere of True Lies in a few days." (To be continued......)
