Chapter Seventy-Six: The Plagiarized Song
Ryan soon receives a photo in the mail from Natalie, girls generally reach puberty earlier than boys, and she looks much older, with a faint hint of Matilda's demeanor.
That's right! What Ryan has prepared for her is "Killer Leon" or "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", even if Natalie doesn't like this character at all when she grows up, how can Ryan make the first Lori in movie history disappear.
Well, maybe it's a bit too much to say that the first Lori is, after all, there are "Lolita" and Jodie Foster's "Taxi Driver" first, but no one can deny that Matilda is a classic, and it is Natalie's masterpiece of girlhood.
Of course, Ryan is not a Frenchman full of erotic thoughts, he will make some changes to the plot, which is inevitable, you know, although this movie in the previous life allowed Luc Besson to knock on the door of Hollywood, but it was not welcomed by the mainstream society, and even caused great criticism, which directly affected the box office of the movie in North America.
Yes, the film was very popular in the Far East, especially in Europe, and brought a lot of praise, but don't forget, whether it is Ryan or Natalie, the future is in Hollywood, they are not French, and they can't go back to Europe with a pat on the ass.
Ryan's influence is so great now that if you copy Luc Besson's director's cut, there is a freak in the plot, and the middle-aged killer and the little girl share a bed, and the saliva of conservatives alone can drown him to the bottom.
Think about it, what kind of controversy will be caused by a person who is called a role model for young people in the United States by the media to write such a story?
Don't say anything you have to do your own thing, no matter what country or region, adhering to the values of the mainstream society is a prerequisite for success.
Ryan intends to portray the relationship between Matilda and Leon as a complex relationship mixed with gratitude, fatherly love, friendship and admiration, in which some unnecessary plots are replaced, so that the theme of the film will not change significantly, and it will reduce the controversy after its release.
Ryan intends to write it as soon as possible, because time is tight, and Kingsley and Universal Pictures are negotiating, and it is likely that a consensus will be reached in the near future, in which case, he will have to put the adaptation of the "Jurassic Park" script on the agenda.
Speaking of which, the negotiations are not complicated, and Jenkins Films, represented by Kingsley, and Universal Pictures jointly invested in the film, each contributing a certain percentage of the funds, and the copyright and income were divided according to the amount of investment.
Universal Pictures is still considering that Ryan asked Kingsley to throw out a new condition, in addition to giving full authority to Universal, if the North American box office of the film does not reach the expected $200 million, Jenkins Pictures will automatically reduce its revenue by 15 percent.
Ron Mayer is still insisting that there is no progress in the negotiations, for the simple reason that when "Terminator 2" was released in North America, the box office was as high as more than 273 million US dollars, and now Hollywood knows that the name Ryan Jenkins means a huge box office appeal.
In particular, since its publication in 1986, "Jurassic Park" has topped the bestseller list in the United States dozens of times, and I don't know how many fans have been cultivated in the past few years, and at that time, they alone may be able to push the North American box office to the height of $200 million.
What's more, during the negotiations, Ryan also put forward a precondition - Spielberg must be in charge of the film's director.
They had already approached the Jewish director, who refused without hesitation, and in fact, many people in Hollywood knew that he was campaigning for Schindler's List, and even went to Poland several times.
Ryan knows more or less about the negotiation process, but he doesn't want to interfere too much, as long as Universal Pictures uses the nirvana of his previous life, Spielberg can only give in, anyway, it is Universal Pictures who offends people, not him.
What kind of income can be obtained from "Jurassic Park", it is completely expected, as long as Ryan thinks of the box office of nearly 1 billion US dollars in his previous life, the out-of-stock dinosaur dolls and cultural shirts, his saliva can drip down, as long as he has this money, he can buy what he wants to buy the most.
Generally speaking, boys will enter the voice change period at the age of 12-15, which lasts as short as 6 months or as long as 2 years, this era is not like the new century when hormones are rampant, and many boys' voice change period is advanced to the age of 11 or even early 10 years old, and it is relatively rare for Ryan to start changing his voice in his early 11s.
Perhaps it is God's favor, after entering November, Ryan finally said goodbye to the male duck voice, the immaturity in the voice completely disappeared, thanks to the guidance of professionals, he has very outstanding characteristics in terms of tone, timbre and vocal range, and the songs he sings have a unique flavor.
This does not mean that Ryan has no worries from now on, the singing voice change period is as long as two or even three years, even if his voice is now close to that of an adult, there will still be occasional unstable singing, this is a consolidation period, and the protection of the vocal cords still needs to be paid special attention.
The only good thing is that as long as he maintains a certain degree, he can sing normally.
Hollywood Records invited Ryan as soon as they got the news, and they had been waiting for this moment for too long.
In the past six months, they have not done nothing, after negotiating a record contract with Kingsley, they brought back the scores of nine songs, followed Ryan's advice written above, began to proofing and making accompaniments, and in addition, formed a five-member accompaniment band.
The accompaniment produced has been sent to Ryan before, and it has been reworked many times, so it can be said that Hollywood Records has everything in place, and only Ryan himself owes this east wind.
In the music practice room, John Burns clapped his hands, everyone fell silent, Ryan waved to the band, and the accompaniment to "Because.of.You" rang out.
"I don't want to make the same mistakes I made......"
The magnetic singing voice is high-pitched and loud, strong and powerful with a touch of unruliness, giving people an indescribable charm, although because the voice is not completely stable, there are still small defects in the singing, but it does not prevent everyone from applauding almost crazy after the song falls.
"What do you think?" CEO Reid asked as he leaned in close to music director John Burns.
"Absolute genius! Those kids in the Mickey Mouse Club aren't even half as good as him! Burns nodded emphatically, "Records are on the agenda." ”
In fact, Ryan has thought many times during this time that his puberty has developed earlier than his peers, and as his height rises sharply, it will be difficult to find a suitable role, and even he can't change this awkward period, since this is the case, then use music to fill the gap during this time.
In addition to the bizarre single "he" released, many of the other songs he prepared were plagiarized, and "Because.of.you" was rearranged and changed by him, so he naturally took it.
In addition, there is Lemon. Tree", Johnson & Johnson's commercial song "the.show", the British boys' version of "feeling.good", the theme song of Slam Slam in the air "I.Believe.I.can.fly", and the lyrical version of "It's.my.life".
The result is seven songs, three of which are their own originals, one of which was an inspirational song sung in New Mexico, which Ryan painstakingly completed with the equally inspirational name "The Climbing," and the other two called "Under the Sun" and "After the Wind Blows."
Originally, he was still thinking about whether to come to the English version of "I Don't Want to Say I'm a Chicken", but then he thought about it, and now the bird cold has not appeared, and this song is more suitable for the age of little Taylor to sing, forget it.
As for the songs plagiarized, they are not the same, no matter how good his memory is, he is just a person, not a computer, not a computer, not to mention, in his previous life, he was not as fanatical about music as in movies, and there are some places that he naturally can't remember, which requires him to complete it himself.
Not only that, but some of the songs he has adjusted in the arrangement, the most typical is "I.Believe.I.can.fly", in his previous life this was a typical black RB, he didn't want to mix with those people, changed the rhythm to be brighter, reduced the black music component, and didn't sing like the original version with a crying voice.
There is also "It's.my.life", that's right, this is the CS theme song that was rumored on the Internet in the previous life, of course, this is just a false rumor, it has nothing to do with CS, just like "The.Dawn" was rumored to be a reluctance to the dead, they are just excellent works by European and American bands.
Ryan didn't take the rock version, but used the lyrical version, for the simple reason that the rock version could be sung on specific occasions, and second, he had to protect his vocal cords.
These songs are either inspirational, playful, or reflect a person's state of mind, basically have nothing to do with love and love, Ryan is not a real Westerner after all, subconsciously, it is difficult to accept that he sings some lingering aiqing songs at this age.
"Ryan, we intend to complete the recording as soon as possible, and the record will be available for the New Year's holiday." It was CEO Reid who spoke.
The people sitting in the small conference room, except for Ryan and Kinsley, were all Hollywood record company executives, and there was even a Walt Disney executive director.
"I have no opinion."
Ryan thought about the recent schedule for a while, except for attending the premiere of "The Bodyguard" on Thanksgiving, there was no other work announcement, and he could take some time to come out and finish recording the song, so that he could be the shopkeeper before the record was released.
"Alright, we'll coordinate with Pat."
It looks like I'm going to take a leave of absence again. Ryan sighed, it seemed that this semester was still going to be an incomplete semester.
Releasing a record was far more troublesome than Ryan had imagined, and he had to not only participate in the recording, but also practice with the band, ensuring a minimum of tacit understanding.
There were a few times when he wanted to make a suggestion about what kind of Rausch band, just use the accompaniment.
However, although I had a limited understanding of the European and American music scene in my previous life, I also knew that every first-line singer had his own band, which should be a good thing, right?
Hollywood records were far more anxious than Ryan thought, they had already seen the quality of the songs, and they were counting on this record to get a piece of the pop market.
You must know that the sales of the single "HE" have now exceeded 900,000 copies, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that it will reach a platinum this year, and they have great confidence in Ryan.
