Paramount, the oldest of Hollywood's giants, entered 1993 but fell into a whirlpool of troubles that gradually affected their day-to-day operations.

Just earlier this year, after four years of observation, Summer? Viacom, in which Lei Shidong holds an absolute controlling stake, filed an application to acquire Paramount Pictures in good faith.

Originally, the progress of a qiē was quite smooth, but who knew that the wind and clouds changed suddenly last month.

Lei Shidong's wife, like Somer? If the court rules for divorce, then Lei Shidong, who has been divided half of his property, will be in danger both in the current merger and acquisition, and in the overall control of Viacom, he has to persuade his wife to withdraw the application and calm the flames in the backyard.

At the same time, another media giant, Barry, the president of the American TV shopping network? Diler also wanted to buy Paramount Pictures, and with the support of some people on Wall Street, he amassed a lot of money.

Since then, the acquisition has been at a stalemate, and it will not be clear for a few months.

Paramount's management inevitably fell into a split, and Shirley? Some of the people represented by Lansing are Viacom supporters, and some are Barry? Diller's supporters, as well as others who wanted to maintain Paitmon's independence.

Although Ryan remembers that Viacom finally succeeded in buying Paramount, the specific process and timing are not for him to know, and besides, this kind of acquisition that can easily cost tens or even tens of billions of dollars is not something he can get involved with now.

"Ryan, what did you and Jim just discuss?" Shirley? Lansing asked unrelentingly.

"The story of a ship."

Ryan winced his eyes at Cameron, and neither of them had any intention of revealing it to the outside.

"How about choosing me to be the captain?"

Arnold? Schwarzenegger walked over with a wine glass.

"Are you sure?" Ryan looked him up and down deliberately, "The captain sank to the bottom of the ocean with his car. ”

"Under the sea?"

"Come on, Arnold." Ryan changed the subject, "I heard that you were injured while filming a horseback riding scene?" ”

"That's right." Schwarzenegger touched his ribs. "Fortunately, it was only a minor injury, and there were no broken ribs."

During the filming of "True Lies", the injuries far exceeded those during the filming of "Terminator 2", and the main actors in the crew were all injured to a lesser or lesser extent, which is one of the reasons why this movie has been delayed for so long.

Since it is indispensable to socialize on such occasions, Ryan has met many people in and out of the circle under the introduction of Schwarzenegger, although he is still young. But with a precocious appearance, elegant manners and humorous conversation, he can always win the favor of quite a few people.

"Goodbye, then, Arnold." It was close to midnight when Ryan and the others came out of the dining room, and he chatted with Cameron for a while, but forgot the time, "And you, Jim." If you have time, you and Linda are welcome to visit Beverly Hills. ”

"When Nicole comes back from the trip, we'll definitely pay a visit."

Standing at the door waiting for the car, Linda? Hamilton took Cameron by the arm. Said with a smile.

"Well, I'll cook for you myself."

After Ryan said this, the rest of the people all laughed. The reporters in the distance pressed the shutter again and again.

The Audi pulled up by the door, and Ryan pulled the door and waved to Schwarzenegger and Cameron. Just ready to leave.

"Ryan, don't forget, we're going to dive in the Atlantic together on vacation." Cameron clearly did it on purpose.

"I didn't say yes!"

Ryan wouldn't be on a thief ship, and he still remembers the helicopter trip in Miami.

The black Audi disappeared in a smoke, as if he was afraid of James? Cameron dragged its owner to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

"In the blink of an eye, Ryan has grown up." Arnold? Schwarzenegger suddenly sighed.

"I'm afraid the current results are just the beginning for that little guy."

James? Cameron patted his friend's arm, and Linda? Hamilton got into the car.

Isn't that exactly what happened? Cameron sat in the back seat of the car, slightly distracted, he met Ryan for the first time? Jenkins was still a skinny little bit, and I remember that it was the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", and he helped himself solve the T1000 problem in a few words.

Speaking of which, since I met him, I have been smooth sailing, "Terminator 2" not only got more than $250 million at the North American box office, but also won nearly $300 million at the overseas box office, making it easy for me to pull more than $100 million in investment for "True Lies".

It's just that he is rising faster, but the other party is faster, think about the first time I met him two years ago, Ryan was still a budding child star, and two years later, he has been praised by quite a lot of media as the first child star in Hollywood history.

Although his works have different reputations, they have become a guarantee at the box office, and he can always grasp the viewing needs of the vast majority of audiences and create works that make the entire film market eye-catching.

Even the most criticized "Home Alone", which was criticized by those film critics from beginning to end, still won more than $500 million at the global box office amid discussions.

Now that Jurassic Park carries the power of a novel, it is about to strike hard, and despite the competition from Furious Spirits, he doesn't think the latter poses a threat.

Unlike others, is he looking at Ryan? Jenkins came step by step, and frankly, it was not so much that he had faith in the movie, but that he had more confidence in Ryan as a person.

Ryan is never afraid of a challenge, it's like creating "The Bodyguard" with a skeptical gaze! He has not failed, even "Resident Evil", which was criticized by book reviewers, has unwittingly sparked a zombie culture in North America.

What if your work meets "Jurassic Park"? This thought rose in Cameron's heart, I really don't know whether to say that Sony Colombia has courage or stupidity?

Maybe they think they're dragon-slaying warriors?

In fact, after Universal Pictures announced the release date of "Jurassic Park", there was a lot of controversy within Sony Columbia, and many American executives suggested changing the schedule of "Furious Flames", but Japanese executives thought that the film was enough to compete with each other.

Now Sony Columbia's board of directors has been completely controlled by the Japanese, and under their strong promotion, "Furious Flames" has launched a fiery propaganda war.

"We have signed a contract with the theater chain, which involves the interests of advertisers, sponsors and peripheral manufacturers, etc., if the release date is postponed at will, it will not only waste the huge publicity costs invested in advance, but also pay a large amount of liquidated damages......

The Japanese are not stupid, and it did not take much effort to win the support of the head office for all the interests involved in this large-scale investment of tens of millions of dollars.

"I haven't taken on other films for more than a year, just to prepare for "Furious Flames"." On the TV talk show, Tom? Cruise was talking, "Me and Robert? Downey co-wrote the script, and there were a lot of unexpected scenes in the movie, and I did all the action scenes myself, and I didn't use any stand-ins. ”

As he spoke, he pulled up his trouser legs, revealing several small scars on his calves that weren't so obvious. "The action scenes in this film are absolutely fantastic, and I dare say it will open up a new paradigm for action movies."

"I heard you still have an investment in it? Worked as a producer? The host asked cooperatively.

"That's right, Cruise Films invested fifteen million dollars, me and Tony? Scott co-produced the film, and we are confident that we will be able to enjoy more auditions than Top Gun for audiences across the United States......"

Although there is still some time before the release of the movie, the publicity station for the summer file has been started in advance, and the limelight about "Furious Flames" and "Jurassic Park" even overwhelmed the upcoming Oscars for a time.

In this era, the Internet is not yet mature, far less influential than traditional media, although Ryan is very experienced in personal hype, but he is a layman on how to promote movies.

Of course, it would be different if you went to the lowest theater to promote it, after all, I had too much contact in my previous life.

He knows a lot about movie promotion, that is, viral marketing, but it doesn't play a big role, first, he lacks a strong network as a carrier, and second, he can't grasp that degree well.

Viral marketing, in fact, has appeared a long time ago, but it was only completely developed after the Internet flourished, and it has very big flaws, once it exceeds people's psychological tolerance, it will only bring disgust.

People who start eating crabs will get unexpected benefits, but if they use it too many times, the effect of the thing will plummet.

As for the bottomless hype, it is not in line with Ryan's future positioning, and there is no need to kill a thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred.

"The dinosaur image in the film originally came from me, but when we made the movie, we hired professional archaeologists and naturalists, I think everyone has already seen the long-range dinosaurs in the trailer, I want to say that when the Tyrannosaurus rex in the movie appears, it will definitely give people an unprecedented surprise, Stephen did a great job, and Industrial Light & Magic, they teamed up to recreate those prehistoric monsters, which was even better than I imagined! I promise, you'll see real dinosaurs! ”

Since he wants to promote, Ryan naturally turned the topic to "Jurassic Park" when he was interviewed by reporters, "Jurassic is a real era, so far away from us, now you only need to walk into the theater to see these former overlords of the earth, the movie is absolutely as wonderful as the novel."
