Like all crews, after the Thanksgiving holiday, the crew began to go to major cities in North America to promote, but Spielberg was missing, and "Jurassic Park 2" was at a critical stage of preparation, and the old Jewish man left the crew directly.

Besides, there are Ryan and Tom in the crew? Hanks is here, enough to attract the attention of the public and the media.

Despite the mixed reception of the MV-style pace and overly lighthearted plot, after the first four days, "Cat and Mouse Game" won $40.22 million and successfully topped the North American weekly box office charts, even if it is still a little far from the investment of $50 million, but it is a very good start.

The Big Three of DreamWorks breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, this is the first film produced by DreamWorks since its establishment, and there are not a few people in Hollywood waiting to see their jokes, and now they have a good start, as long as there are no accidents, the movie will definitely be a big hit.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that after the box office of the movie was released in the first week, the famous film critic Roger? Albert's film review is long overdue.

"Because I've watched it a few more times, I've only written a little bit until now, speaking of which, it's not a big production, but it looks very relaxed and ornamental, putting aside the plot and rhythm, a forty-year-old man and a sixteen-year-old man show us a different kind of father-son relationship, Tom? Hanks vs. Ryan? Jenkins delivered the most outstanding performance on the big screen of the year! Ryan, in particular, is still shocking when he grows up, and the curse of Hollywood child stars never seems to exist, and his performance in this movie completely surpasses "The Sixth Sense", with the role of Frank. He definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actor! ”

Is this Roger? Albert's article in the Chicago Tribune column, despite the fact that everyone knows his interest in Ryan? Jenkins admired it, but he didn't expect to give such a high rating.

In particular, 'worthy of an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor'. You must know that there are very few nominees for Best Actor under the age of 20 in the entire history of the Oscars.

And if he wasn't Roger? Albert, if not everyone knew about him and Ryan? Jenkins doesn't matter at all, and someone is sure to come out and question him being bought by Ryan's team at this point.

Of course, there will be no shortage of contrarians.

"Ryan? Did Jenkins' performance in "Cat and Mouse" really deserve so much praise? All I saw was a handsome face dangling in front of the camera, causing the girls in the theater to scream constantly, if this is also considered acting. is also worthy of an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, then the Academy Award is too cheap. ”

— The New York Times, Gary? Graham

Actually, after entering December. The PR battle for the Oscars has begun, Pie? Kinsley is leading the team to actively public relations, buying large advertising pages in "Vanity Fair", "Los Angeles Times", "Hollywood Reporter" and other media outlets, and hiring many gunmen. A fierce propaganda offensive is about to begin.

Ryan is clear. His acting skills are not a problem at all, but age and qualifications are obstacles, of course, it is almost impossible to get a little golden man with such a role, all he asks for is a nomination.

There is also Nicole's "Island Cry", which will be screened soon, which is a work that laid the foundation for her, and the nomination cannot be missed.

So. Ryan is going to work for this year, and for the next few years. Plus a double insurance.

When he returned to Los Angeles with the crew in North America, the box office of "Cat and Mouse" was officially released, and after winning $32.25 million in the second week, the box office in the third week was $25.18 million, which was only one step away from breaking 100 million.

"呯~呯~呯~"

As the muzzle smoke rose, Ryan took off his thick earbuds, unloaded the magazine, and put the Beretta 92F or M10 pistol aside, then activated the button, and the target paper slowly came to him.

"Oh, God!"

Looking at the intact target paper, Ryan felt the urge to tear it up, and it was embarrassing that none of the fifteen bullets hit the target.

"Don't be discouraged, Ryan."

Harvey? Weinstein patted his arm comfortingly, "Your posture is very standard, just practice a few more times." ”

"I hope so." Ryan shook his head, after all, it's the first time to play with a gun, and it's normal to miss the target, isn't it?

This is a private club in Malibu that caters to the rich and famous, not only a shooting range, but also tennis, riding, golf and other sports.

"Hey, Ryan, do you see that?"

When the target paper was moved, Harvey? Weinstein smiled and his face trembled, "This is the result of an experienced veteran." ”

"It's really good." Ryan's eyes swept over the target paper, and then he raised a suggestion, "Harvey, how about we go horseback riding next?" ”

Hear Ryan's words, Harvey? The flesh on Weinstein's face trembled even more, and with his current size, he still wanted to practice riding?

"Forget it, let's play golf." Ryan had been joking before.

The white four-seater battery car is driving on the course, maybe not on the weekend, there are not many people here, Harvey? Weinstein knew that Ryan had asked him out and that he must have something to talk about, and after a few random holes, he drove the battery car to the empty outdoor seating area.

"What a shame, Ryan." Sitting under the sun umbrella, the two of them chatted while sipping black tea, "Last time, Bob that guy held a swimsuit party duì, and specially asked me to invite you, but you didn't arrive." ”

"I've got some beautiful young models for you." He squeezed his eyes.

"Oh, you're so generous, let me think." Ryan put down the porcelain cup and knocked his head, "These women definitely want to enter the film industry, if something really happens, how many roles do I need to give?" ”

"Just find a few small roles and you can get it done." Harvey? Weinstein didn't care.

Sometimes it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't, Ryan knows that when it comes to that kind of occasion, there are few men who can really keep the bottom line, so he has no intention of participating in the swimsuit pie at all.

"I'm not like you, Harvey, who has so many characters." Ryan smiled, his face straightened, and changed the subject, "I heard that you guys haven't had a good relationship with Disney recently?" ”

"That's right." Harvey? Weinstein shrugged his shoulders, "Aren't you too?" ”

The Weinstein brothers were also strong figures, and after Miramax was acquired by Disney, they did not receive enough attention, but instead became a company specializing in the distribution of niche films for Disney, which is a far cry from the original vision of their brothers.

Especially Michael? Eisner, the tyrant of Disney, and the difference between the Weinstein brothers and him have long been spread throughout the circle.

"Disney has become Michael? Eisner's kingdom alone. Ryan frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said this.

"As long as Bob and I are for a day, Miramax won't allow him to reach out."

Although Disney is the largest shareholder of Miramax, it is not easy to reshuffle Miramax's board of directors and kick the Weinstein brothers out.

"So that our cooperation can continue." Ryan curled his knuckles and slowly tapped on the small white table, "Harvey, we are old friends, we have been working together very happily, Ni and I may have today, and the first person to thank is you." ”

"You're so polite, Ryan." After all these years, Harvey? Weinstein knew what the young man across from him was, "Is it Nicole?" ”

"Harvey." Ryan didn't answer his question, and said to himself, "We jointly produce a trilogy series, with a big investment and a big production, I guarantee a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, and the global box office will definitely exceed one billion dollars." ”

Harvey? Weinstein's back immediately straightened, and he knew Ryan must have something else to say.

"One day, I mean, if you and Bob can't stand the pressure from Disney." Ryan made an apologetic gesture and continued, "I want to leave Miramax and re-establish a film company, I ...... We can provide you with financial support. ”

"Really?"

"Harvey, you should know that my promise has always worked."

After all these years, everyone knows that Ryan will walk the talk.

"Alright, Ryan, tell your terms, and hopefully not too much." Harvey? Weinstein understood that it had nothing to do with friendship, it was just a transaction, "Ryan, should it be...... Your age......"

"Harvey, all I need is two Best Actress and a few nominations." Ryan tapped his fingers slowly, "I think as long as the work is excellent, Nicole's one shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" ”

Harvey? Weinstein smiled, Nicole? Kidman wants to have acting skills, and he has to have qualifications, as long as there is a role of similar weight, it is indeed not difficult to cooperate with publicity and public relations.

Ryan? Jenkins isn't Ryan the one he used to be? Jenkins up, he Harvey? Weinstein wasn't for a little golden man with a hairy Harvey? Weinstein too.

"Next year's Oscar ......" Ryan held out two fingers, Harvey? Weinstein nodded, "I've seen the screening of "Island Cry", and there is no problem. ”

Just a few days before Ryan's return to Los Angeles, "Island Cry" had just been screened in Los Angeles, and although Nicole's performance in it, which some tabloids called inexplicably neurotic, was unanimously praised by the mainstream media, who believed that she had dug deep into the character's inner world.

Called George, and Ryan asked him to send in the script and setting artwork.

"Harvey, I am the producer of the film, the crew from the actors to the staff, the first choice is to respect my choice, and the start time may be later."

"No problem!" Harvey? Weinstein wished he did, "I can go as a handyman whenever you need to, Ryan." (To be continued......)
