Chapter 173: The Footsteps of the Successful
After the box office of "Jurassic Park" was released in the first week, the movies released at the same time or later were mourned, and the only large-scale production that dared to face its edge ended gloomily, and the record of breaking 100 million and 200 million can only be expected.
Finally, the hot momentum of "Jurassic Park" at the box office gradually dissipated, and just when the major film studios were a little relieved, another movie written by Ryan landed in North America.
Ryan? Jenkins plus James? Cameron plus Arnold? No one dares to underestimate Schwarzenegger's power.
Originally, after the premiere date of "True Lies" was announced, Ryan still wanted to say something to Tom? Mr. Cruise's works are caught between the front and back, who would have thought that the opponent was too weak, and before the movie was released, the attendance rate fell below the bottom limit and was forced to be downgraded from North America.
This situation is normal, there are not a few films that travel for a week or even a day in North American theaters, Hollywood is indeed synonymous with high-quality commercial films, but high-quality movies are built on the basis of huge bad movies.
In this way, "True Lies" went through the first week, "Jurassic Park" went through the fifth week, and the two movies carved up the vast majority of the market share.
The former won more than $63 million at the box office in three days, squeezing "Jurassic Park" from the weekly box office position, and even so, the latter still won close to $40 million at the box office, firmly holding the runner-up throne.
Faced with such horrific box office figures, many film producers can only bow their heads and push back the films they are ready to release.
The smartest person transferred his film to the Christmas file as early as when he learned that "Jurassic Park" would be released this summer.
Although he didn't play a single role in it, "Jurassic Park" and "True Lies" were more of Ryan's triumphs than the producers? Jenkins' personal victory! ”
This is the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter about the evaluation of these two films.
All kinds of praise in the media almost lifted him to the sky, and Ryan's brain remained sober. Although he made different changes to the scripts of both films, changing some of the incongruities and goofs in his previous life, if there was no James? Cameron and Stephen? In Spielberg's words, words are just words.
Creativity is sometimes the most valuable, and sometimes it is the cheapest.
This situation is very simple to say, the vast majority of people will chase the footsteps of the winners, but disdain the losers, and the continuous success, especially the sweep of "Jurassic Park", has made the entire Hollywood's estimation of his value suddenly rise to a higher level.
"As long as it can bring enough benefits to the partner. They don't mind worshipping you as a god and doing everything in their power to protect the common good. ”
Under the palm trees in the garden of his home, Ryan sat at a small table and talked, Nicole? Kidman and Pie? Kingsley sat on the other side, enjoying afternoon tea.
In this summer's gluttonous feast, they also reaped huge benefits.
"So, you're planning to work with Sony Columbia Pictures?"
Is it pie who is asking? Kingsley, despite the work Sony has done, she's not a fool. Putting aside her friendship with Ryan and Nicole, it's easy to choose between the gains and the empty promises of the other party, isn't it?
"Don't worry, Pat. Talk to them, they have their eyes on the future, and we are the future! ”
Ryan clasped the table lightly and laughed, Sonny Colombia had a gold mine in his hand. In the future, it is precisely by relying on it that they will maintain the situation of not dying or living.
"What are you thinking, Ryan?"
See Ryan's smile. Nicole understood what he was calculating again.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking, how can we spend it with so much money we made this time?" Ryan put his whole back on the chair, with a bit of laziness, "luxury cars, yachts, airplanes...... Well, and beauties! ”
"Do you want me to make a swimsuit pie for you at home?" Nicole? Kidman's words were clearly squeezed out between his teeth.
"Ah, that ......"
Ryan scratched his face and quickly shook his head, "Forget it." ”
A few luxury cars don't cost much, yachts and planes still count, Blue Sky and Pixar are two studios that burn money, and that 'silicon and nerve bond'.
As for the beauties, the most beautiful person in his heart sits beside him, can he go out and find it?
Of course, it's not time to say this kind of thing, and I'm still young after all.
Since God chose to meet Nicole on the Walk of Fame, he won't let her go again! Even if you exhaust all means!
Jin Sili sighed a little, after knowing each other for so many years, their relationship has always been so good, they are always thinking about each other, even if they are sisters and brothers, it is difficult to do this.
"Alright, Ryan, let's talk about the rest of the story." Nicole took a sip of black tea and asked, "Have you decided which middle school to go to?" ”
"No ......"
Ryan shook his head directly, he had been busy since he graduated, where had he ever thought about this kind of thing, "Do you have anything to do, Nicole?" ”
"Los Angeles Southwestern High School, a private middle school, co-educational, is not too far away and is very well managed."
Originally, Ryan almost nodded when he heard Nicole's previous words, but the latter sentence made his eyes widen.
Strict management? Ryan somewhat understands that it is impossible to enter middle school as easy as it was in elementary school, and private middle schools are often synonymous with strict management.
"Can I go to a public high school?" Ryan asked tentatively, and seeing Nicole's unkind face, he quickly added, "I'm just asking." ”
"No, you can't!"
Nicole didn't think about it, and shook her head resolutely.
"Nicole, why don't you get a governess for Ryan?" Jin Sili suddenly spoke, "With Ryan's conditions, staying in school for a long time is a complete waste of time. ”
"What do you think, Ryan?"
Nicole has never doubted Ryan's intelligence.
"That's a great idea!"
Ryan nodded, at first, he thought that he would have to stay in school until the end of the compulsory education age, but later learned that after reporting to the relevant institutions, it is completely possible to receive education at home, as long as he can pass the special test every year.
Besides, what he wants to learn is professional knowledge that is closely related to the future, and it is better to hire a tutor than waste time in school.
Of course, as a minor, if the guardian doesn't nod his head, it can only be a thought.
However, Ryan knew very well what Nicole was worried about, and immediately said, "Nicole, you insisted on letting me go to school because I was afraid that I would be too withdrawn, and now that a few years have passed, I don't interact much with people at school, which has not affected me. ”
"You should know that I have a clear plan for the future, and I need to receive a professional education......"
"Okay then." Nicole interrupted him, tapped her fingers slowly, and said, "When I come back from the Far East, I will ask for a governess for you." ”
Ryan just smiled brightly, Nicole? Kidman said very sternly, "If you have any of the courses and your grades drop to C, I will definitely send you back to school." ”
"It's not fair, Nicole." Ryan grumbled.
"I guess that's not hard for you at all, is it?" Nicole straightened her face, and there was no room for bargaining.
"Alright, well, who made you my guardian!"
Ryan sighed helplessly, but he was thinking in his heart, how should he turn over when he grows up......
"Ryan, Nat was in New York for two auditions, you know?"
Send? Kingsley also acts as Natalie's agent, even though most of the other party's affairs are handled by her mother.
"She didn't mention it......"
was puzzled for a moment, and then Ryan figured out that Natalie didn't sue him, but wanted to get the role with her own strength.
"The result?" Ryan couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's not ideal, one she gave up after seeing the script, and the other crew rejected her." Kissley is shrewd and capable, so she can naturally guess Natalie's little thoughts.
"Independent films?" Ryan asked.
"Yes."
Independent films are a different circle, and it's hard for either Ryan or Kingsley to influence that.
"Pate, help me take care of Nat, don't let those things happen to her in the independent circle."
Although the independent film industry advertises art, it is a more chaotic existence, and although Natalie is still young, some self-righteous people do not care about this.
"I'll get noticed." Kim Sili nodded.
The afternoon tea didn't last long, and Kinsley was busy with business and quickly left.
"I didn't expect Nat to hide something from you."
Back in the living room, Nicole seems to mean something else, "She's grown up......"
"Even the best friends have secrets, don't they?" Ryan shrugged his shoulders playfully.
"And do you have any secrets that I don't know?" Nicole looked over.
"Of course...... No! "Some things at this stage, Ryan won't admit it, first, he is still young, and second, he doesn't have enough self-confidence.
If you want to keep someone around, you can't just talk about it.
"What about you, Nicole?" Ryan asked.
"I'm ......" Nicole hesitated, her eyes flickering, but she remained calm, "of course I didn't." ”
"Yes...... Is it? ”
Ryan deliberately dragged out his voice, "Why do I feel like you're not talking?" ”
"Really?"
Nicole's nose wrinkled, her eyebrows raised high, and she took advantage of her size and age, and looked down condescendingly, "What the hell are you trying to do again, Ryan?" Jenkins? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm going to the Far East soon, and I'm just a little excited."
A little weak-hearted, Ryan simply pulled out this excuse, "It's the first time I've been to such a far place." (To be continued......)
