Chapter 357: Protests from Russia

As Ryan once said, it is impossible for one person to win everyone's praise, and those voices who oppose for the sake of opposition, neither Ryan himself, nor his many supporters, will not care too much, but those slams full of malice are different, and no one will feel comfortable seeing such statements.

Gary? Graham is one of those who is known to be full of malice towards Ryan, and Ryan may only think of him as a ridiculous clown, but his supporters don't see it that way.

They remembered the account before the release of "Titanic" last year, but after the other party switched to the Internet, they rarely published targeted and vicious language, which left him in the corner.

Now, he's jumping out again.

In some ways, Ryan's supporters are arguably the broadest loose group in North America, including people from all walks of life, including experts in computer and Internet technology.

So, when Gary? Graham's remarks appeared on the Internet just hours after his website was hacked.

"Your professional review is a collection of American jokes!"

These are the words left by the intruder after hacking the website.

Also, a Gary? Mr. Granham, pouting his bare ass, pleasing pictures of an all-American audience.

This incident became the laughing stock of the entire industry, and it is said that the descendant of the Mayflower was so angry that he went directly to the medical institution.

"It's definitely not something I let you do!"

On the treadmill in the fitness room, Ryan swears to Natalie that the Long Island girl is lifting dumbbells.

"I didn't say you did it, and while you're boring, you're not too much to bother with a clown."

Despite saying this, Natalie smiled unusually happily, and no one thought that their beloved was always being attacked by someone for no apparent reason.

Then she looked at the clock on the wall. Reminder, "Ryan, it's time!" ”

"Hmm~"

Jumping off the treadmill, Ryan had just exhaled, Natalie had already put down the dumbbells and walked over, picked up the white towel hanging around his neck, and helped him wipe the sweat droplets off his face.

Ryan bent down slightly, enjoying Natalie's tenderness, and one hand unconsciously landed on Natalie's slender waist, and the upper body of the Long Island girl was a short tight gym suit. His hand touched directly on his smooth and white lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but fall downward.

The door to the gym room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, making a 'bang' sound, and then Scarlett? Johnson rushed in, waving the bag in his hand and yelling, "Nat, Ryan......"

"No...... Embarrassed...... "Probably seeing something, she pursed her lips. I don't want to laugh out loud.

"Scarlett, you forgot to knock on the door." Ryan quickly withdrew his hand and glared at the blonde girl, "When did you come over?" ”

"I just arrived."

Scarlett grinned. Didn't care at all and ran to Natalie's side, "I called the Hilton and Nat wasn't there. I guess she must have come here, so she came......"

"Nat, I didn't see anything." She grinned and turned to Natalie.

"Come on. Scarlett. Natalie made a zipper motion, and Scarlett nodded busily, "I'm not Taylor's big mouth, don't worry." ”

"Oh, here's the document George told me to bring over." Scarlett? Johnson stuffed the file bag to Ryan, went to the refrigerator next to him to get two boxes of juice, threw one to Natalie, and asked curiously, "What kind of classified document is this?" Isn't George afraid of me peeking? ”

"Last week's North American box office charts were just that."

Ryan sat on a thick mat to practice self-defense, and Natalie pulled Scarlett to sit next to him and asked, "What was the box office of Desert Island Aftermath in its first week?" ”

"Oh, it's rare that Nat cares about the box office."

Deliberately blocking the sight of the two girls, Ryan squeezed his eyes and said with a smile, "Guess, there is a prize for guessing correctly." ”

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie didn't bother to ask, if there was anything else, there was still suspense, but the box office was just a bunch of numbers for Ryan, she pulled Scarlett up, "I'm going back to change clothes, let's go, Scarlett, let's go together." ”

"Nat, aren't you curious?" Scarlett followed and asked unwillingly, "Aren't you worried about Ryan losing money?" ”

"How much is the production cost plus the publicity budget, how much is this movie?"

"Like 100 million dollars."

"Scarlett, do you think a movie can be profitable at the box office alone?"

"Not counting the advertising revenue of the placement, Ryan's film can make money back at the North American box office."

"Since I can make money, what do I have to worry about."

"It seems that this is the truth......

The voices of the two girls grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely, Ryan shook his head, stood up and walked towards the main building, there should not be much suspense at the box office, and now it is time to shift the focus of the work to publicity and public relations.

Sony Columbia Pictures has been looking forward to starting a Hollywood era that truly belongs to them, and the success of the "Jurassic Park" series has made them see the influence of monster movies in North America, believing that bigger and stronger monsters are enough to attract American audiences, and the huge success of the box office in the first week seems to confirm this.

But Sony Entertainment ignored one very important thing, Godzilla is an alien monster, and "Jurassic Park" before the movie was released, the novel did enough publicity and foreshadowing, especially behind this series, there is still the person who is now known as the representative of Hollywood commercial films.

This person's latest masterpiece was also chosen in the hot Christmas file.

In fact, when there was a long queue in front of the theater for three days on the weekend, Sony Pictures already had a very bad premonition, and these people in line were definitely not for "Godzilla", because although the box office was successful in the first week, the movie's reputation was very poor, not only was it attacked by film critics, but most of the viewers surveyed immediately were also dissatisfied with the movie.

This has also been proven by the facts, and "Godzilla" shrank sharply in the second week, with a box office figure of just over $15 million, and can only try to raise its head and look up to "Desert Island Aftermath".

As Christmas approached, the box office movie finally arrived, with more than $22 million on the opening day, more than $23 million the next day, and $26 million on the third day, adding up to more than $71 million, which is the first week box office of "Desert Island".

Although it is quite far from the record of "Titanic", and it is not even as good as "Jurassic Park 2" in the summer, it is very rare for such a movie supported by one actor.

There is also the investment of both parties, and in terms of the cost of a single round of production, "Desert Island Survivors" only cost $55 million.

And "Life on a Desert Island" has received rave reviews, not to mention those film critics, just among the audience, it has won a very high reputation, and the power of word of mouth after the movie is released is sometimes the best means of publicity.

Frankly speaking, the movie leaves the audience with too many plots worth scrutinizing and imagining, such as the wings that run through the movie, such as several conversations between Chuck and Kelly, such as the backdrop of the crossroads, etc.

Even the color of the wings on the email at the beginning of the film is pink, which has been interpreted by some people as a hint that Mr. Peterson is having an affair, which has to be admired for the power of brain supplementation.

However, the benefits of this are obvious, the development of the Internet has brought about the flow of information, many people think that after making new discoveries, they will be eager to share, and various fan sites and Ryan's personal web pages have become the channels for bearing, these views are seen by others, and a considerable number of people will re-enter the theater to confirm these views.

Coupled with those who walked into the theater because of their feelings, although the number of repeat moviegoers cannot be compared with "Titanic", it also accounts for a large proportion.

The film's good reputation among the audience, the most direct response is that the box office of "Desert Island Survivors" in the second week did not show much decline, with a figure of $64.55 million, which is still proud of all movies in the same period.

As for "Godzilla", it is obviously lacking in stamina, and even fell out of the top three of the box office list in the third week, and it is completely impossible to rely on the North American box office to recover the cost.

Although this is a normal competition in the film market, Ryan and Sony Columbia Pictures have no intention of going toe-to-toe. After Cruise, the original grudge has disappeared, and even the two sides still have a lot of common interests in "Spider-Man", after all, Peter? The rights to the Parker TV series are still in Sony's hands.

But the media won't care so much, as long as there is a topic that can be hyped, they will not let it go easily.

"A modern-day version of Robinson vs. Godzilla, Ryan? Jenkins used only one pinky finger to overwhelm the monster! ”

There are so many more reports like this, and these guys want Hollywood to be as chaotic as possible, so that they can have stories to write about, and then they can make a lot of money.

It's a pity that neither Ryan nor Sony Columbia bother to pay attention to these guys.

Sony Columbia is busy with the overseas release of "Godzilla", and since the box office failure in North America has become a foregone conclusion, the cost must be recovered from other regions, especially Japan.

And Ryan had to promote the movie, because Jenkins Pictures and Paramount had made full preparations in advance, and "Desert Island Survivors" began to appear in the most important overseas markets a week after it landed in North America.

Over the next week, the film was released in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Western Europe, and Russia in Eastern Europe.

In fact, Ryan would love to try to achieve simultaneous global premieres in several major box office producing regions if possible, but in this day and age, this can only be thought of temporarily.

It's just that what Ryan didn't expect was that after the film landed in Russia, the spokesman of the Russian Duma actually protested to the producer at a regular press conference! (To be continued......)
