Chapter 399: Genre Film

The filming of this trilogy was long, Charlize? Two weeks after Theron left the show, Ryan returned to Los Angeles, and on "Desert Island Aftermath," he owed Tom? Hanks's favor, though given to Colin? Hanks had the opportunity to play the leading role in "The Grim Reaper", but now that he has time, it is natural to attend the premiere.

For the sake of this eldest son, Tom? Hanks used the connections he had accumulated over the years, coupled with the great help of Jenkins Films, and invited many well-known people in the circle to come over and cheer.

"Yes, Colin is very good and I think he will build his own achievements in the future."

At the end of the red carpet, Ryan spoke eloquently in the face of reporters' questions, although the subject of the discussion was older than his age, no matter who he was, he was naturally qualified to comment, "What? Of course, it's not because of my friendship with Tom, after you see this movie, you definitely won't have this kind of thought, in my eyes, he is first and foremost Colin? Hanks, and then Tom's son. ”

Anyway, if you say a few nice words and don't need to pay for it, Ryan is almost just doing it for Colin? Hanks preached.

As for Colin later? Whether Hanks can compare to his actor father, or even half of Big Tom, is not in Ryan's consideration.

After casually dealing with reporters, Ryan walked into the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Tom? Hanks greeted him directly, "Hi, Ryan. ”

"Oh, God." Ryan hugged him, then distanced himself a bit, looked up and down, and then said, "Tommy, you're fat again." ”

"I haven't been exercising much lately, so I'm idle...... Tom? Hanks made a gesture you understand.

"Are you and Stephen sure we're going to adapt that novel into a TV series?" The two sides have never broken contact, and Ryan naturally knows that Tom? What Hanks is doing.

"Yes." Big Tom nodded, "The whole project has been decided, and the script is currently being written, and Stephen's plan is to wait for "Pearl Harbor" to be released before starting production. ”

Hear this familiar title again. Ryan shook his head, this film has been in preparation since last year, and it has not yet been filmed.

"Interested in investing?" Tom? "Our initial plan is to make it into 10 to 15 episodes, with an investment of at least $100 million. ”

"You know, Tom, I don't know much about TV shows." Ryan is a complete layman when it comes to American dramas, even if the TV series he is talking about must be "Band of Brothers", "I need the team below to make an evaluation." ”

In the memory of my previous life, there is no information about this TV series. Ryan hasn't seen it either, and the only information he knows is from this life.

Last year, during the promotion of "Saving Private Ryan", a veteran who participated in "World War II" personally asked Tom? Hanks presented the non-fiction novel "Band of Brothers", and after reading it, Tom? Hanks gave the book to Stephen again? Spielberg, the two hit it off and decided to remake the novel into a TV series.

Friendship is friendship. Business is business, Tom? Hanks understood this, and after discussing it with Ryan a few more words, he went to greet the other guests.

Ryan took a spin around the field. Say hello to someone you know or don't know well, and find Colin? After Hanks, he walked straight over.

"Colin."

With Tom? Hanks' eldest son said hello, and Ryan looked to his side. Curious, he asked, "Drew, why are you here?" ”

After speaking. He gossiped and looked at Colin again? Hanks, the heart said that these two people will not get together, right?

"Not what you think."

After all, it's an old friend, and Ryan didn't hide it, Drew? Barrymore easily saw what he was thinking, "I made a small cameo in this movie. ”

Ryan nodded, this is too normal, who let Colin? Is Hanks Tom? As for Hanks's son, Spielberg's goddaughter would make a cameo in his film, which is not surprising at all.

"Colin also had a role in 'Breaking Bad.'" Drew added.

"Oh, which character?" After Ryan set the outline of this movie, he completely threw it to Drew, and basically didn't ask about it since the project was established.

"Villain!" Drew grinned, "I wasted a lot of saliva to convince Colin to play." ”

This guy! Ryan shook his head, no doubt, Drew? Barrymore is a qualified businessman who knows how to maximize profits.

The daughter of the super-rich plus the son of the double Oscar winner will definitely attract the attention of many people.

As for acting, is there room for acting skills in movies like "Breaking Bad"?

"Where's Paris?" Ryan remembered the pink goblin.

"The crew is on vacation, and she is back in New York." Drew showed a complaining look, "Ryan, this movie also has your investment, won't you come to the set to see it?" ”

"I'm reassured of you, Drew."

If it was something else, Ryan might have worried about this guy messing up, but when it came to business, she was definitely very responsible.

After all, if this movie fails, he will lose some money at most, and Drew will go bankrupt.

How sad is a bankrupt Hollywood star? The Tom who was disliked for participating in B-grade movies? Mr. Crews is a very good example.

That guy owes so much debt, when will he pay it off when he makes a B-grade movie? Maybe he should find someone to point him to a road, a bright road to the San Fernando Valley.

"What are you thinking, Ryan?" Waiting for Colin? After Hanks walked away, Drew asked curiously, "Looking at your calculating appearance, I don't know which guy is going to be unlucky again." ”

"I'm wondering......" Ryan deliberately dragged out the end, and when Drew showed a curious look, he said seriously, "I'm thinking, Drew, if you go bankrupt, should I sell you to Africa or Mexico to pay off the debt." ”

"I'm not worth anything." Drew? Barrymore did not hesitate to depreciate himself and pulled Gwyneth who happened to pass by? Paltrow, "Why don't we sell our new Oscar-winning actress to Somalia, it will definitely sell for a lot of money." ”

"Drew!" Gwyneth glared at her, "You two are messing around, don't drag me in." ”

When she turned around, she immediately put on a big smile, "Hi Ryan, I haven't seen you in a long time." ”

"Gwynnie, aren't you going to have a treat?" After all, it's an old friend I've known since I was a teenager, and Ryan is not welcome.

"Of course." Gwyneth? Paltrow nodded immediately, "My celebration party can be held at any time as long as you have time." ”

Although she has been criticized by countless media as the most unworthy Oscar for Best Actress in the past two decades, Gwyneth has taken a big step forward in her career after getting the little golden man, not to mention the skyrocketing salary, she has signed several endorsement contracts of tens of millions alone, and will definitely rank in the top row of this year's Hollywood female star income list.

So many people are desperately chasing the Oscars, and they do not hesitate to invest huge public relations expenses in it, because they get not only fame, but also benefits.

And the word fame and fortune are not synonymous with this circle.

Gwyneth only stood for a short time and left, she knew very well that she was not like Drew, in addition to a good friendship with Ryan, there were also entangled interests, although she was also one of the shareholders of Flower Pictures, but she was a small shareholder who had no right to speak.

"Aren't you going to have a girlfriend yet, Ryan?" Drew winked his eyes, "I have a good impression of you in Paris's tone......"

"Stop, Drew." Ryan interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "Let's be honest, I already have a girlfriend." ”

"Who?" Drew came over very gossipy, "I promise, I will never reveal it to the outside." ”

"It's a secret!" Ryan turned and walked towards the theater, waving his hand behind him.

Before entering the screening hall, Ryan met the director of the film, and he beckoned, "Hello, James." ”

"Hello, Ryan." James? Huang shook his hand and walked forward.

"If the next episode of this movie is filmed, are you interested in continuing to direct it?" This kind of movie is used to make money, word-of-mouth or something, and it can be thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

Chinese directors, unless they have a deep foundation and extensive connections at New York University, like Ang Lee, are too difficult to lead a crew.

James? Huang almost didn't think much about it, and verbally agreed to Ryan, this kind of opportunity is just as rare for him.

Strictly speaking, although this movie spills a lot less ketchup, it is still not completely out of the category of American ketchup.

However, the concept of the film is very unique, different from ordinary American horror - there is no death at all in the film, let alone the usual violent scenes of American horror, but through tense music and constant black shadows, gloomy winds and strange ways of dying, giving people a fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The design of death mode imposes the impermanence and helplessness of life on everyone, and the audience can easily have a sense of substitution; And the failure of the protagonists to redeem themselves also conveys to the audience a deep despair, and a sense of fear arises spontaneously.

Of course, the elaborate coincidences and oriental mysticism will surely attract criticism from film critics.

But the movie was released on this schedule, aimed at horror movie lovers, and the vast majority of high-grossing horror films in this world will attract all kinds of bizarre abuse from film critics, and the more times they are criticized, the effect will plummet.

The total investment in the film is 30 million US dollars, but nearly 3,000 theaters have been used, as long as the box office in the first week is not too outrageous, the profit is almost predictable, and this type of film is the easiest to cultivate a fixed audience and lay the audience foundation for the subsequent sequels.
