Chapter Eighty-Four: Universal Studios
It was a Zuihou day in 1991, the black Audi sedan was speeding towards Universal Studios, Ryan was sitting in the back seat, slightly tired between his eyebrows, Nicole gently rubbed the corners of his forehead for him, and the distress on his face was very obvious.
The script for "Jurassic Park" was handed over to Universal Pictures and Spielberg after Christmas, and the three parties have spoken on the phone dozens of times over the past few days to exchange views on the script.
Naturally, the script will no longer start from the perspective of a little boy, and the hero and heroine will revert to Dr. Grant and Dr. Setler.
Because Ryan used a director's cut from his previous life, Spielberg was generally satisfied after making a few small comments.
Despite the many conflicts between the two parties, Universal Pictures gave Spielberg the maximum authority for the success of the film, not only hiring his best partner Katherine Kennedy as the production manager, but also following his advice in the selection of actors.
Spielberg also showed super efficiency, and it only took a few days to determine the first main actor, to Ryan's surprise, it turned out to be Nicole Kidman, who played Dr. Ellie Setler, because this is the relationship of Ryan's work, Nicole agreed without even thinking about it.
Frankly speaking, Ryan doesn't want Nicole to take this film contract, whether it is the male or female lead, they have to stand aside in the movie, there is only one protagonist in "Jurassic Park", the fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex, and counting back, it is a velociraptor before it can be the actor's turn.
However, now that Nicole has made a decision, he has no intention of interfering, and besides, this movie can add a rather brilliant resume to her.
Maybe it's getting used to it, or maybe it's nostalgia for the warmth of childhood, and before I know it, Ryan got into Nicole's arms, and the Australian girl frowned, but didn't say anything, still rubbing the corners of her forehead for him.
"Ryan, you should give me a raise." Kinsley sat in the passenger seat, visibly exhausted.
"Well, Pat, a hundred dollars a month, I'm generous, right?" Ryan made a hemorrhagic expression.
Pie Kingsley smiled brightly, her request for a raise was naturally a joke, as a member of the 10 percent cohort, even if she only had two people to her name, who didn't know that she was already one of the highest-paid agents in Hollywood.
"Xiexie you, Pat, when the New Year is over, you can go on vacation."
Ryan knows very well that in the past six months, Jinsili has not rested much, and it is said that because she is too busy with work, she has parted ways with her boyfriend who is dating.
Her ability really doesn't have to be said, in September, she flew to Taiwan in person, borrowed Warner's relationship over there, and successfully won the film adaptation rights of Wang Dulu's novel, and then ran around North America with the whole team, making every effort to publicize the novels in Ryan's list, and won the adaptation rights of many of them, especially the ones designated by Ryan.
"The Identity of Bourne", "Interview with the Vampire" and "Kind of Catch Me: The True Saga of the Most Extraordinary Liar", needless to say, while getting the rights to the film adaptation of "Forrest Gump", she also set a trap in the contract to kick the original author Winston Groom aside and let Ryan adapt it alone.
This is in line with Ryan's intentions, in his previous life, during the script writing of "Forrest Gump", Winston Groom had to make the movie a political satire, and Ryan didn't want to deal with him.
The Audi drove into the Universal Studios office area, and with Kinsley leading the Ryan and the others to a reception room, they arrived a little late, and when they entered, Spielberg, George Lucas, and Ron Meyer were discussing something.
The preparation of the crew and the filming of the film were fully handled by Catherine Kennedy and Spielberg, and the special effects production was handed over to Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic, and the cast is currently only finalized by Nicole Kidman.
"The main characters in the movie are dinosaurs, and all the plots are based on them, so I only intercepted less than 20% of the content in the novel, and what the audience wants to see is not the origin of dinosaurs and what the clone Jishu is, but the conflict between humans and these prehistoric monsters." It was Ryan who spoke, and he once again emphasized the main line of the script, you must know that when he expanded the movie into a novel, he added a lot of content, and the script naturally had to squeeze all that water out.
"I agree with Ryan." Spielberg closed the script, held his eyes, and said, "If the effect of dinosaurs is not achieved, no matter how brilliant the plot of this movie is, there is only one way to fail." ”
George Lucas flipped through the sketches one by one, and suddenly said, "Ryan, the appearance of the velociraptor seems to be a little different from the one restored by archaeologists, right?" ”
"Yes." Ryan nodded and simply got up from his chair, "Actually, the velociraptor is much smaller than the one in the artwork, and I borrowed more from the dinosaur in its shape to add visual effect. ”
After a pause, he said, "What the audience wants to see is a lifelike dinosaur, and no one cares if it is scientific or not. ”
"Well, I'm out of business." George Lucas thought for a moment and said, "Stan Winston and Phil Tippe will be responsible for the animatronic dinosaurs and the dynamic dinosaurs in the long shots, respectively, and ILM will use the latest cinematic special effects in this film." ”
"George, make a suggestion." Ryan pinched his chin, "Although I have drawn some of the design drafts, my knowledge of dinosaurs is limited after all, so it is best to hire a paleontologist to supervise the design of dinosaurs." ”
The rest of them nodded, after all, it was a prehistoric behemoth, not a monster like an alien.
"We are currently negotiating with several manufacturers that there will be a few product placements in the film, and if the negotiations are completed, the script may need to be slightly revised." Ron Meyer looked at Ryan.
"I don't have a problem." Ryan nodded, these were all side stories.
The other two have no objection, and ad placement has long been a part of film culture.
"In terms of the crew, Kate will hurry up the preparations, and the selection of locations will start after the New Year, and it is expected that the preliminary preparation of the film will take 20-30 weeks." Clearly, Spielberg and Lucas have exchanged views and the timetable given is also very tight.
His words seemed to have ulterior motives, and after frowning, he still spoke, "Ron, I still hope to shoot Schindler's list first, part of my team has already gone to Krakow and done a lot of preliminary preparations, twenty weeks is enough for me, and I can transfer to Jurassic Park after I am done." ”
"Stephen......" Ron Meyer shook his head slightly with a look of embarrassment on his face, there were many people present now, and he wanted to save some face for the other party.
Ryan didn't want to get involved in these things at this stage, and seeing that the topic had changed, he casually made an excuse and walked out with Nicole and Kingsley.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Waving to the two, Ryan turned the corner and stepped into the bathroom.
After getting out of the men's bathroom and washing his hands by the sink, Ryan lowered his head and flicked off a small piece of paper on his clothes, and turned around to leave, who knows if he hit his head on something soft, and then heard the girl's exclamation of "oops" from the other side.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you!" After all, it was his own fault, not to mention that he knew where he hit someone else, and before he could look up and see who the other party was, Daoqian's words came out.
"Hey, it's you!"
"You know him?" Another female voice asked.
"Ryan Jenkins! Gwynnie, don't tell me you don't know him. ”
The girl who spoke, with a cute baby face with a slight baby fat, was slightly taller than him, looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, but her body was very hot, as for the other one, although she had not seen it in this life, she had seen it countless times in her previous life.
It's just that he Ryan would never have thought that he would meet a pair of Spielberg's goddaughters when he bumped into him casually.
"Hello, Miss Barrymore, and Miss Paltrow! If nothing happens, I'll take my leave. Ryan didn't want to get tangled up with them, and the other one was okay, Drew had a really bad reputation.
"Hey, he hit me in the chest and wanted to leave, how could it be so cheap, Gwynnie, help me stop him!" Drew crossed in front of him.
Ryan couldn't help frowning, feeling that he was possessed by a weakened spirit, not to mention being stopped by Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, and now stopped by Drew Barrymore, could it be that Hollywood's depraved girls are so related to him?
"Little handsome guy, it's not bad, if you get older, you can charm a girl." Drew laughed, and a finger reached out a little flirtatiously and pointed a finger at his chin.
"Miss Barrymore, please respect yourself!" Ryan gave a faint warning.
"Alright, Drew, don't go too far!" Gwyneth Paltrow on the other side persuaded.
"Gwynnie, don't worry about it, I'm measured."
As he spoke, Drew Barrymore approached with a bit of aggression, and Ryan had no choice but to retreat slowly until he reached the edge of the pool, and there was no way out.
Drew Barrymore smiled a little wickedly and a little flirtatious, "Little handsome guy, have you ever kissed, do you want to try it?" ”
As he spoke, the pair of red lips were printed.
Ryan didn't want to give the first kiss of this life to this coquettish girl, he stretched out a hand, and Howe didn't hesitate to push the baby face back, but Drew seemed to be addicted to playing, and actually pressed a hand on his chest and slid down.
Seeing that the hand was about to grab his vital point, Ryan cursed lowly, trying to push her away again, but the guy actually grabbed his belt and expertly touched the buckle.
What's going on? Ryan was annoyed and angry, he had never been molested in two lives, and in a hurry, he grabbed Drew's arm with one hand, and suddenly exerted force with the other, subconsciously using the big back fall that George taught him.
"Bang" "Bang"
Drew Barrymore was thrown directly by him on the ground by the pool, but fortunately Ryan didn't exert too much force, but even so, tears flowed from the other party's eyes.
"Ah~" Gwyneth Paltrow screamed.
Her scream didn't matter, and it completely broke the peace in the building, and people in several nearby offices, thinking that something terrible had happened, poured out one after another.
