"Hi Harvey,"
Ryan let the big fat man into the living room of the suite, and what he didn't expect was that there was another person behind him, a middle-aged woman.
"Ryan, aren't you welcome to me?"
Tina? Brown beckoned to him, his short blonde hair and neat professional suit, which made him look unusually capable.
"Of course welcome, Ms. Brown, please." Ryan quickly made a gesture of please.
"You can call me Tina."
"Alright, Tina, and Harvey, please take a seat."
Glancing at the big fat man, the other party gave Ryan a look you know.
Harvey? Weinstein can become the god of public relations in the future, and he has created so many Oscar murders, not only in the college, but also in friendship with the mainstream media. Brown approached him.
It's just that this woman who is good at hype and propaganda comes to herself for what to do? Is it a rehash of the past?
"Ryan, I heard that the contract between you and Alien will expire at the end of the year, and you haven't renewed it yet?"
Westerners speak directly, and after serving coffee, Tina? Brown said what he meant.
"Yes, but the Harry Potter series will continue to work together."
The news, though secret, is no different from lice on a bald man's head for some people.
"Oh~"
Tina? Brown seemed a little disappointed.
Ryan was well aware that standing behind Vanity Fair was the Newhouse Group, one of the giants of the publishing industry.
But. He wasn't ready to end the Harry Potter franchise with Alien, there was so much involved. He didn't have the heart and energy to find a new owner for the book.
Since the second half of the year, pie? Kingsley held several negotiations with them. The conditions won are good enough.
"What about the rest?" Tina? Brown's eyes flashed.
"I'm not going to sign any other contracts other than Harry Potter." Ryan waved his hand and said.
"How about opening a column in Vanity Fair, if you could? Essays, novels, and reviews are written casually. "Tina? Brown was like a female wolf at this point. "Of course, if you want to serialize a novel like Harry Potter or Jurassic Park, we're more than welcome."
The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched, "Vanity Fair" has only been seen a limited number of times, and I really don't remember that there is such a thing as serialization on it.
"How's it going, Ryan?" Tina? Brown asked.
No wonder she's so enthusiastic. Since the last time the Oscars sent duì, she listened to Ryan's advice and held several special pies in the name of "Vanity Fair" after the White House press conference, and the effect was not ordinarily good.
This woman really never forgets to promote "Vanity Fair"! Ryan could only sigh like this, "That's it, Tina, I'll give you an answer before I go back to Los Angeles." ”
Seeing that Ryan didn't refuse, Tina? A smile already appeared on Brown's face, in other words. She's going to be ready to make people and pies when she goes back? Kingsley negotiated.
Ryan does intend to do so, the magazine has a huge influence in mainstream circles, and it will have a lot of benefits for the future.
Tina? Brown is the quintessential strong woman in the workplace, and she finishes talking about business. See Harvey again? Weinstein should have something to talk to Ryan about, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.
"This woman is not ordinary, Ryan. Having a good relationship with her will help you and Nicole. ”
Send Tina away? Brown. Harvey? Weinstein said that after a few years of cooperation. There is some friendship between the two sides.
"Hmm." Ryan nodded and said casually, "Harvey, a new awards season is coming, do you have any plans?" ”
Over the years, Harvey? Weinstein's PR skills skyrocketed, and sometimes he wondered if this guy would cause a bloody case ahead of time.
"The point is "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", there should be hope to be nominated for Best Picture, Jack? Nicholson is in the process of publicizing Best Supporting Actor, and Nicole has already applied for Best Supporting Actress. "Harvey? Weinstein asked rhetorically, "What are your plans, Ryan?" ”
Ryan didn't answer, walked into the bedroom, took out the script of "The Sugar-Coated Trap" from his backpack, took it to the living room, and handed it to Harvey? Weinstein.
"This is based on a novel, the copyright of the film is in my hands, and like "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea", it is a lawyer's theme, and I have written all the relevant construction in it."
This script can be called the most difficult script written by Ryan after "The Sixth Sense", not only searched many law books, but also accelerated the pace of the movie a little, and changed a lot of bugs in it.
Ryan? Jenkins' script, with the recommended actors and the writing in it, is now almost a box office guarantee.
Harvey? Weinstein's eyes lit up, and it seemed to him that even Luc? Besson's kind of European directors who accepted Ryan's advice were able to make excellent commercial films, let alone Hollywood, which was more commercial.
"One of the supporting actresses in it is specially for Nicole, I have noted." Ryan reminded him.
"No problem."
And then, Harvey? Weinstein looked at Ryan, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and everyone understands this.
"If you can, Harvey, I'm guaranteed a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Nicole in "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea." Ryan tapped his fingers slowly, and after a pause, he said, "Is there any hope for Nat's nomination for Best Supporting Actress?" ”
"It's very difficult." Harvey? Weinstein put it bluntly, "The subject matter of the movie is a bit troublesome. ”
"Fight for it, can you, Harvey?" If it wasn't difficult, why would Ryan bother to find him, "It's just a nomination." ”
"Ryan, if there are no accidents, Nicole can be nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the second time, and we can ...... this award"
"Harvey, I don't know as much about public relations as you do, but I think seniority is also one of the important parts." The meaning of Ryan's words is already obvious, "Although Nicole is now a first-line actress, I think accumulating enough qualifications should be essential, right?" ”
Harvey? Weinstein laughed. The little guy opposite...... No, it should be considered a powerful person in Hollywood. Early for Nicole? Kidman set the direction he was going to take—the peak of the starry road.
Others say Ryan? Jenkins met Nicole? Kidman was his luck and it was she who helped him get out of his dark life. But in the eyes of the man he's worked with the longest, it's the opposite, Ryan? Jenkins has designed the path of the future from the day he started writing, Nicole? Kidman is the one who has been blessed by God, and he is lucky to pick up Ryan from the Walk of Fame.
"Okay, Ryan, I try, but I can't guarantee it." Harvey? Weinstein said.
"Ask Pat for the necessary expenses." Ryan is well aware. Even if this thing makes Harvey a few years later? Weinstein's operation will still be difficult.
Harvey? Weinstein has long regarded Ryan as a peer, and the number of times the two have worked together has increased, and some things are naturally tacit.
Send Harvey away? Weinstein and Ryan's business in New York is also completed, packing up his belongings and preparing to return to Los Angeles.
Helping Natalie win a nomination for Best Supporting Actress is also a wish for her, even if it doesn't seem very likely at the moment. But always give it a try.
After the crew left New York for Paris to embark on a European promotional tour, Ryan also returned to Los Angeles.
He had heard a lot of news from Europe. It is said that "Killer Leon" was a hot hit, and after winning the first week of the North American weekly box office chart, many European media and filmmakers rejoiced. To think that this is a successful counterattack of European cinema, Hollywood is nothing remarkable.
As for the Americans hailing the film as Ryan? Jenkins works. The fact that the main investor was Miramax was subconsciously ignored by them. They are equally blind to the reality of the commercialization of films.
This is not true, after all, "Killer Leon" has not yet been released in continental Europe, but I don't know how European filmmakers who pursue 'articulation' will feel after watching it.
Maybe you will scold the screenwriter for what he wrote, why is there not real love between Leon and Matilda!
Of course, the version released outside of North America is Luc? Besson's director's cut, which includes some scenes of Leon and Matilda's life, as well as scenes in which she follows him to observe murder techniques, may attract criticism in the United States, but there is no such problem as zài in Europe.
Before returning to Los Angeles, Ryan gave Vanity Fair a reply, and Tina? Brown made a phone call, and in the space of a few days, Pi? Jin Sili negotiated the terms with the other party.
"Vanity Fair" focused on this news in the subsequent issue of the magazine, and also introduced Ryan's past by the way, which was a win-win for both Ryan and "Vanity Fair", and the sales of the current issue of the magazine rose by nearly five percentage points.
As for what to write, it couldn't be easier for Ryan, who is familiar with the general trend of future film development, and has copied such a large number and scale of things over the years, and the writing has long been practiced.
Ryan doesn't comment on other movies, he's not a professional film critic, he doesn't do that kind of thing that makes people jealous, besides, if you can't do it, just get a few novels, and after the short story is written, you can get a long serialization, anyway, the English translation series of novels I read in my previous life is not only Harry Potter.
In the blink of an eye, 1992 was about to pass, and Ryan found himself busy for a year, and there were not many works, only "Killer Leon" was released, and a solo album "Ryan? Jenkins", in addition to two books, one Harry Potter and one "Resident Evil" that has been wildly criticized by book critics.
Next year will be the most important year, "Jurassic Park" will come strongly, and even "True Lies" and "The Lion King" may be released, which is bound to be a bumper year.
Besides, I don't know if the amount of losses for the new year comes out, Steve? Will Jobs have blood in his heart, as long as he peddles again, he must try to buy Pixar.
Scott? Swift has been preparing for this for a long time, as long as the funds are in place......
Ryan couldn't stop having a headache, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, or the problem of money was the most prominent and important. (To be continued......)
