Chapter 342: Director and Starring

Sitting in front of his computer in his study, Ryan browsed his personal website on Yahoo's homepage, and although it was a few years old and the largest gathering place for his fans on the Internet, he didn't leave many messages in person, and most of the time, the website was run by Kingsley's agency team.

The worrying remarks in the print media have worried many people, and the most immediate response has been to leave a message on Ryan's personal website, and some have even called for organizing a rally to retain Ryan and not let him hide behind the scenes.

Looking at the messages on the website, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head, he never had any intention of quitting Hollywood, at least not for a short time.

"Ryan, if you don't appear in movies anymore, we'll jump off the Brooklyn Bridge." This message is from a group of girls who used to run naked on Fifth Avenue.

"Ryan, don't turn behind the scenes, please understand the feelings of those of us supporters, we are the ones who watched you grow up, you are our spiritual pillar, no matter what you become in the future, as long as you are still standing behind the scenes, we will fully support you. You are our faith. This message was followed by countless voices of support.

"Ryan never said he was going to quit, don't forget that this is just a one-sided statement from those newspapers, it's just their speculation, how things are going to be, and I'm sure Ryan will respond." There are also many sane people.

"What about Ryan? If you see it, please give an answer and let us feel at ease......"

"yes, now that the media are saying so sure, you have to respond, right?"

"Call Ryan, don't want the agent's answer ......"

Initially, there was only one tabloid newspaper that he might quit, but when the current issue sold out quickly and had to be reprinted, other tabloids immediately saw it as a good opportunity for hype. Relevant reports were published one after another, and the certain tone was as if he had received Ryan's personal assurance.

Ryan has not responded to this, and the fan base can't help but be a little worried.

After skimming through the message board, Ryan put his hands on the keyboard and quickly typed out a short message.

"I never had any intention of leaving Hollywood, leaving the big screen, and I never even said anything about it, when did the tabloid words become credible? Looks like I should send them a lawyer's letter. I understand everyone's concerns, and I understand the relationship that we have walked hand in hand over the years. You have never given up on me, and I will not give up on you, you are the driving force behind my efforts. Turning behind the scenes is completely unilateral thinking of the media, and while I am an actor, I have been working as a fairly qualified producer, so why should I give up my identity as an actor? ”

"Here to reveal some news in advance, I have a specific filming plan for the next few years, and this year's new work "Desert Island Afterlife" will soon release the first trailer, and the schedule is also set for Thanksgiving Christmas. The film to be shot next year has also been officially approved. So you can rest assured. ”

After Ryan personally updated his personal website, all kinds of hype and speculation disappeared suddenly, and now is not the era of traditional media, and the Internet is more time-sensitive. And this is a statement issued on his personal website, which is more reliable than the irresponsible reports of any media outlet.

The next day, with Ryan's permission, the Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter reprinted his message. While the various fan groups were completely relieved, they couldn't help but focus on the last few sentences of the statement.

It's not news that "Desert Island Afterlife" is about to be released, although the trailer hasn't been released. The advertisement has already been typed, and Ryan's new movie next year has been officially approved? What is the genre? Where to shoot? What is the specific content?

Now, entertainment reporters in North America began to jump up and down again, from Jenkins Manor to Jenkins Films, from the University of Southern California to several clubs that Ryan frequented, they could be seen everywhere, and these guys seemed determined to dig up new movies that were still in the stage of secrecy.

Someone well-informed, noticed Pie? A script about gladiators in the Roman Empire that Kingsley preached some time ago couldn't help but focus her attention on this.

However, just when they were speculating that this might be Ryan's movie next year, the French newspaper Le Figaro revealed explosive news in a prominent position.

It was a blurry picture, apparently from a candid shot, and although it wasn't very clear, it was still possible to tell that one of the two men sitting across the table was Ryan, and the other was an old man in his fifties or sixties.

Maybe some people will be unfamiliar with the latter, but the reporter who ran the entertainment instantly recognized that the other party was Roman? Polanski.

Many people know that Ryan went to Europe some time ago, according to the British media, he went to investigate the feasibility of Harry Potter filming in the UK, who knew that when he was in Paris, he actually met Roman in private? Polanski.

These two people with very different statuses and reputations, why do they want to meet at this time? Roman? Polanski has long been wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Or does Ryan want to ask him to direct a new film? The problem is that the styles of the two men are completely incompatible, one is first and foremost commercial, and the other is cold and dark......

The report published below the picture answered everyone's doubts, and the person who took the photo was the owner of the café and the waiter, and they faintly heard some conversation between the two people as they passed by.

"The two gentlemen who broke the news revealed to us that Ryan and Polanski had mentioned the names pianist and spearman many times during the conversation, and when the two finally separated, they both showed satisfied expressions and apparently reached a consensus."

"As far as we can guess, Roman? Polanski should have promised Ryan? Jenkins, directing a film about the pianist or Spearman. What is the movie? We consulted a lot of sources, asked veterans in the world of film and literature, and quickly found the answer. ”

"The only one who can connect the two is the Polish pianist Valadisro? Mr. Spearman's autobiographical novel "Dead City", think Roman? Polanski's experience of escaping a Nazi concentration camp, the Holocaust reflected in the novel, and Ryan's special trip from North America to France to invite Polanski, the answer is very obvious. ”

"Ryan? Jenkins intends to adapt the autobiographical novel into a film, and the director chosen is none other than Roman? Polanski, at this point, we made a special trip to the elderly Mr. Spearman, who confirmed that the rights to adapt the autobiographical novel were indeed given to Jenkins Films. ”

"According to the words of the two gentlemen who broke the news and our bold speculation, Ryan? Jenkins is highly likely to play Mr. Spearman himself......"

At the same time that the news reached North America, Jenkins Films held a press conference for the first time, announcing that the Polish pianist Valadisro? Mr. Spearman's autobiographical novel "Dead City" and the adaptation of the Holocaust-themed film "The Pianist" were officially established. Polanski, Ryan will personally star in Valadisro? Spearman, the location of the shooting was chosen in Poland.

Although Polanski's return to the attention of the American public has caused many tabloids to hype up the rape case again, the mainstream media has focused on the subject of the film - the Jewish Holocaust!

They quickly came to the conclusion that, given the real experience, there was no one better than Roman? Polanski is better suited to direct the film, and Ryan's invitation to him as a director was definitely a wise choice.

Do you know that Spielberg's director for "Schindler's List" was Roman? Polanski, for this reason, also visited the door several times.

As for Polanski's disgraceful experience, even if it is a tabloid hype, Hollywood will not care, and in the eyes of these industry insiders, the standard of judging directors and actors will never be moral character.

Ryan's starring role has caused a lot of controversy, the most important of which is his age.

"As we all know, in the face of today's increasingly excellent makeup and post-production techniques, too young and handsome looks can only be regarded as a minor problem. But don't forget, even by the time the film starts, Ryan? Jenkins is only nineteen years old, how much life can he understand at this age? How much will there be a sense of that history? What's more, the script is also from his own hand, such a rigorous subject matter, maybe he will be rewritten into a movie with a strong commercial atmosphere, in view of the particularity of the subject matter, we suggest that Jenkins Films change to a mature Jewish actor. ”

That's USA Today's point of view, and they've always been neutral and their advice is fairly pertinent, but it can't influence any of Ryan's decisions.

And the media that supported Ryan immediately issued the opposite comment.

"After Jenkins Films announced the establishment of the film project, I immediately found the original novel, which is indeed a special subject, and according to the general situation, it is indeed not suitable for a nineteen-year-old young man to play. However, let's not forget that the actor who will star in this movie is no ordinary nineteen-year-old actor! How much has he achieved so far, we don't need to list them all, right? ”

"There are also important points, in 1992, Ryan starred in Spielberg's "Schindler's List", has enough knowledge of that history, and even saved Natalie from the remnants of the Nazis? Miss Portman, as far as we know, Ryan has been donating to the Yad Vashem Memorial in Jerusalem all these years, and this year he made a special trip to visit the Avenue of the Righteous and related memorials, and I believe he must be ready. ”

"The last reminder is that after the release of Schindler's List, Ryan once called for 'I urgently ask you to see this movie' as a Jewish, which shows that he knows enough about the history of his own ethnic suffering."

As if in response to the voices of skepticism, and as if for the Los Angeles Times report above, Jenkins Films released the trailer of "Desert Island Aftermath", as if to use ironclad facts to prove whether Ryan can play a mature enough role. (To be continued......)
