Chapter 605: Genius in Explosives

As the "World of Warcraft" that pushed Blizzard Entertainment to its peak, it is one of the games that Ryan has not played many in his previous life, but unfortunately his level is indeed not very good, and this series has an inseparable relationship with him, after all, the game is adapted from the serialized novel he wrote at the beginning.

This series, which was once serialized in "Vanity Fair", although far less sensational than "Harry Potter", is no less attractive, especially the eyes of Hollywood producers.

As early as when "Warcraft" was a big hit, some people in the industry contacted him and wanted to get the film adaptation rights.

Ryan certainly wouldn't agree, and while there are very few successful game adaptations, and even the occasional success is rarely a blockbuster, but when World of Warcraft takes off a global gaming frenzy, movies always attract some audience.

After seeing this game, which is very similar to his previous life, Ryan is also considering the possibility of a movie adaptation.

Unlike the worldview of Blizzard in the previous life, which has changed and changed itself contradictoryly, because it is adapted from his novel, the "Warcraft" series of games has a complete general history, and the portrayal of several key heroes in "Reign of Chaos" and "Ice Throne" is extremely good, Illidan? Furywind, Tyrande? Style, Sylvanas? Windranger and Arthas? Names such as Minasil are widely circulated among game fans.

Movies are not games, and it is impossible to create a bunch of screen images in a large space, and there must be trade-offs, and if you want to succeed, you have to erect a hero or a small team such as the Fellowship of the Ring to be the absolute protagonist.

As for the right choice, Saar, Anduin? Lothar, Varian? Ureon and Arthas? Minasil is highly adaptable.

Sal still forget it, this is a movie, if the protagonist is a green-skinned orc, it will definitely turn into a tragedy.

Among them, Ryan is most inclined to Alsace? Minahir, the prince of the Terrans, appeared with all the good qualities. In the end, he degenerated into the puppet of the Lich King, whether it is the change of identity and role, or the mental journey experienced during the period, he is very suitable to become the protagonist on the screen.

Isn't it a very good subject matter for a person to struggle in the face of light and darkness, redemption and slaughter?

Consider making it into a trilogy series, and if the film is successful, you can even break down the characters and make a separate film.

Of course. It's not the right time, the game hasn't come out yet, and the epic genre continues to appear, which will bring relative aesthetic fatigue, and if it is shot in a short period of time, it will undoubtedly increase the risk of failure.

It's better to wait for Blizzard Entertainment to launch this game first, their plan is to start commercial operation in the first half of the year, but in terms of Blizzard's tradition of skipping tickets, it would be good to achieve this goal in the second half of the year.

A few years ago. The French Vivendi Group had been trying to buy Blizzard Entertainment until they bought Universal Pictures with a big investment, and gradually abandoned this plan, and with the full recovery of the IT industry. Blizzard Entertainment is extremely good both in terms of performance and on the NASDAQ stock market.

The up-and-comer is on its way to becoming one of the top giants of PC gaming.

After filming Argo, Ryan was relatively less busy. You don't have to shoot intensely every day, and you have to practice a lot during your break to find out how the character feels.

And it's almost the time before Christmas. Not only is it a hot time for movies, but it is also the time when Hollywood's celebrities are most active, with film pulls, premieres, public relations parties, and charity events constantly being held, which is simply dizzying, and also gives the media a lot of news to write about.

As one of the most well-known and wealthy people in Hollywood, Ryan is also indispensable to attend some events, in addition to the premieres of old friends, and naturally he will also be generous at charity auctions.

"Tiffany pink diamond necklace with a reserve price of $1 million!" The auctioneer, dressed in formal attire, briefly introduced the lot and shouted vigorously.

Unlike the charity dinner hosted by the Hollywood Business Association at the Four Seasons Hotel, many businesses responded to the charity event to save Africa's hungry children, and some luxury brands even put some classics up for auction.

On the table on the left side of the front row, Taylor, who was wearing a purple evening dress, leaned over and muttered a few words, and Ryan held up the number plate.

"Mr. Jenkins offers $1.5 million!"

"Has anyone else raised the price?"

The auctioneer shouted twice, but no one below raised the sign again, and directly dropped the hammer, "Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for your generosity to poor children in Africa." ”

Ryan smiled and nodded slightly.

"It's boring."

Unlike his polite appearance, Taylor leaned in front of Ryan and whispered, "It's not like an auction at all, and there's no one to compete for." ”

"Honey." Ryan laughed, "Aren't all charity auctions like that. ”

Soon, someone brought the wrapped pink diamond necklace, and when Taylor put it away, Ryan waved his hand, and John on the table behind him handed out a check.

"That's your birthday present."

After the other party left, Ryan stopped caring about the auction below, and said in a low voice, "Open it and take a look." ”

Taylor opened it and looked at it, and quickly put it into the bag on the side, "Thank you, my dear brother. ”

The auction lasted more than half an hour and raised more than $23 million in donations, which was not a concern for the people in the ballroom.

The auction is only part of the dinner party, and in fact this philanthropic duì will surely evolve into a social duì in the end.

contributed a check, Ryan also completed the purpose of the trip, and in the face of the follow-up people who came to say hello one after another, he simply chose to leave early.

Out of the Four Seasons Hotel, the newly ordered Rolls-Royce Phantom is already waiting at the door of the hotel.

After getting into the car, Ryan asked Taylor, who was sitting next to him, "Are you going home?" ”

"Go to your estate." The girl took out the necklace she had just photographed from her bag, tried it on briefly, and put it away again, "I always receive a lot of gifts every year." “

"In a few years, you won't have any privileges." Ryan gestured to the rearview mirror, and Rolls-Royce headed towards Beverly Hills, and he raised the baffle, "You're going to be in love, you're going to have a boyfriend, and that's going to be his prerogative." ”

"That's it......"

Taylor muttered under her breath, her bright royal blue eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, she turned her head, held her chin in her hand and looked out of the car, and said a word silently.

"Did something happen?" Ryan couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"No ......"

The girl shook her head vigorously and slowly turned back, "I just think that time is really fast, I have grown up, and you have also become old." ”

"Getting old?" Ryan subconsciously rubbed his face, "Honey, it's not so strict, is it?" ”

He knew that as he grew older, Taylor would inevitably have his own thoughts and secrets that he didn't want to share with others, so he didn't continue to ask, and simply said to himself, "I'm only twenty-four years old." ”

It is true that he is old enough according to his mental age, but he has always maintained a young enough heart so that he can have the greatest vitality and motivation.

"But by the time I'm twenty, you'll be getting old." Taylor regained his original form.

With that, she laughed first, and Ryan flicked her forehead slightly, causing the girl to wrinkle her nose and laugh as well.

Every year before Christmas, Taylor's birthday party is the most important party, and this year is no exception, after gathering all the family and friends and throwing a lively party for her, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" arrived.

The film was deliberately chosen to premiere at Disneyland, the first ever film premiere in Disneyland, and legendary pirates from the Caribbean became the theme of Los Angeles Disneyland on December 19.

"I can imagine that after the success of the movie, ......"

When standing in front of a giant poster for a group photo, Jerry? Bruckheimer looked at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride that was being renovated and said to Ryan, "There's going to be a lot of people flocking to Disneyland." ”

"It's better than them actually going to the Caribbean to be pirates."

After the group photo, Ryan shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the Grand Theater first. Bruckheimer continued, "As long as the movie meets our expectations, Pirates of the Caribbean will become another Disney signature. ”

"Although I'd love to say that the movie is really good."

Jerry? Still a little worried, Bruckheimer gestured and said, "You know, Ryan, pirate movie...... What a painful lesson for us. ”

"This is not a traditional pirate movie." Ryan and Jeffrey reaching out? Rush shook his hand, nodded at him, and asked again, "Jerry, I heard that Michael went to shoot a science fiction film in DreamWorks?" ”

"Yes." He nodded, keeping up with Ryan, "Movies about clones, your friend, Scarlett?" Johnson is the heroine. ”

"Escape from Clone Island" is about to appear, and DreamWorks is not far from the end.

"I would love to continue working with Michael."

After entering the Disney Fantasy Theater, Ryan and Jerry? Bruckheimer sat next to him, "It looks like we'll have to wait until after this movie." ”

"Oh?" Jerry? Bruckheimer asked with interest, "Do you know what the subject is?" ”

"Hasbro's toys." Ryan gestured with his hand to look at the shape.

"Transformers?"

"That's right!" Ryan nodded, then continued, "Michael is a perfect director, and he's a genius when it comes to shooting explosions and visually striking shots. ”

Of course, don't add complicated emotional dramas and reflections and the like. (To be continued......)
