In the headquarters building of Sony Columbia, a group of people sat around the table in a huge conference room, hosted by Yuken Shimauchi, the executive director of Sony Entertainment in the United States.

He was in charge of the project "Flames" from the selection of actors to the selection of partners, and even served as one of the producers himself.

"At present, all the work is progressing smoothly, in terms of publicity investment and strength, we have steadily overpowered "Jurassic Park", Tommy's box office appeal is still strong, and most of the people interviewed said that they would consider going to the cinema to watch "Furious Flames"."

A person in charge of propaganda is talking about the entire propaganda progress.

"Let's not forget that although Jurassic Park has a large number of fans, it is a young book, which is very different from the audience of "Furious Flames", and we don't need to worry too much."

The person who spoke was a Japanese-American, however, they didn't know that Ryan's script protagonist is completely different from the protagonist of the novel, "The biggest attraction of "Jurassic Park" is the conflict between dinosaurs and humans, and now the movie is rated PG-13, and it must have canceled a lot of dinosaurs attacking humans, in that case, it will inevitably affect the quality of the film. ”

"That's right!"

Several yellow-skinned people nodded in agreement, and the faces of several American managers showed a little doubt, the director of the movie is Stephen? Spielberg.

"Guys, will you listen to me?" American executive John? Smith spoke, "The author of the script is Ryan? Jenkins! Don't forget, "Home Alone" is just a children's story, but the adapted movie is a killer for all ages! ”

"Hey~ John, you're too worried." Shimauchi shook his head, beckoned to his assistant, and a copy of the document was sent to everyone. "This is the Ryan I have people counting? What about all the scripts written by Jenkins, "The Sixth Sense", "Home Alone", "Sleepless in Seattle", "The Bodyguard", etc., did you find a common denominator? Except for "Bodyguard" because of that conflict......"

He stopped abruptly and looked at Creamy Raw, "I'm sorry, Tommy......"

"It's okay." Tom? Cruise gestured to him to continue.

Except for "The Bodyguard", which grossed more than $40 million in its first week, all of them were around $30 million, with the best box office performers "The Sixth Sense" and "Home Alone" being released in North America for 15 weeks and 16 weeks respectively, which is the way to show Guò for a long time. to achieve such a high box office figure. ”

Takeshi Shimauchi's eyes showed a confident look, "Therefore, I judge that the box office of "Jurassic Park" in the first week will not exceed $50 million, and it may even be below $40 million, and the news from the theater side is that Universal Pictures has signed a long-term screening contract. ”

Hearing his analysis, many people nodded, after all, counting jù will not deceive people.

"Everyone, no one will always succeed. Even Spielberg has had a hard time, and I admit that Jurassic Park has a strong appeal, but our Rage won't be worse than them! "Tom? Cruise stood up, confidence and pride flooding his handsome face.

"Yes. I think Tommy has a point. Yuken Shimauchi echoed and said, "The investment in "Furious Flames" is the same as "Jurassic Park", but the publicity and marketing are even better, and we still have Tommy and Demi on our side in terms of actors. ”

They won't think about it. In that movie, the actors were just foils.

"I'm confident that "Flames" can surpass "Jurassic Park" at the box office in the first week and win the top spot at the North American box office!" Yuken Shimauchi finally concluded.

The meeting is over. Tom? Cruise walked out quickly, and his agent had to smile apologetically at everyone and hurriedly followed.

"Tommy, I'm still a little worried."

The last agent has been fired, "Jurassic Park" ......"

"Jack, do you think I'm no match for that little ghost?"

Tom? After Cruise's words, the agent obediently closed his mouth.

It's only been two years! Tom? Cruise frowned, two years ago the other party was just a little kid and a child star, and now? It's already possible to influence Hollywood's top studios!

After so many years in Hollywood, he knows very well that if he attacks Ryan again now? Jenkins, the first thing to usher in is the counterattack of giants such as Warner, Paramount, and Walt Disney.

It's a circle where interests come first, Ryan? Jenkins can offer his allies far more benefits than he does.

Unlike the previous conceit, when he saw that little guy step by step towards the most powerful class in Hollywood, Tom? Cruise was a little weak-hearted, maybe he didn't know the sentence - the person who knows you best is your enemy - but he knew it, Ryan? Jenkins is by no means a big-hearted person, right? Kidman seems to have an unusually protective desire, and from the first meeting, he has been targeting himself!

The later conflict raised the contradiction between the two to a stage where they could no longer be reconciled, and those companies that wanted to cooperate with him instantly distanced themselves from themselves.

Once the other party completely overwhelms him, he is likely to retaliate, not to mention him, but once in a while he meets Nicole? Kidman, the other party looked at him, it was clearly looking at the enemy of life and death.

Tom? Cruise understands that there is only one way for him to go, and that is to climb up, become the king of Hollywood, and become one of the most powerful people!

Frankly speaking, he didn't expect that "Jurassic Park" would collide with his own movie, but he quickly realized that this was an opportunity, as long as "Furious" overpowered "Jurassic Park", he could prove his worth to the whole of Hollywood in Ryan? Above Jenkins, the alliance of interests of the other side was disintegrated from the side.

…………

At the same moment on the same day, Ryan was dressed in a gown and sat upright on the stage of the school auditorium, his slender fingers falling on the black and white keys like a jumping elf, and the tune of "Ode to Joy" jumped out happily.

In late May, thirteen-year-old Ryan finally ushered in his elementary school graduation ceremony, and as the school's star and signboard, performing on stage must be indispensable, not to mention, Nicole? Kidman sat in the first row under the stage, staring at him intently.

"Knock~"

The last scale fell, and the students and parents in the auditorium gave a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes.

There aren't many opportunities to see a super genius playing!

Back backstage to change into his gown, Ryan walked back into the auditorium and sat down quietly next to Nicole.

"Excellent, dear." Nicole had an undisguised look of pride on her face, "Maybe you should try the piano professional grade 8 test." ”

"Forget it, Nicole." Ryan didn't care much, Nicole's praise was much stronger than what level eight, "Those don't matter, do they?" ”

"Okay, whatever you want."

Recently, as Ryan has continued to rise up, Nicole has quietly changed the way the two get along.

"Wow~"

The applause rang out again, but it was much weaker than just now, and Ryan also stood up with the crowd and applauded the students performing on the stage.

This is a typical American-style elementary school graduation ceremony, there is no speech from the principal and leaders, there is always only one protagonist here, that is the students, here is the stage for the students, because of their age, they can't hold a ball, they can only show their talents in this way.

The graduation ceremony soon came to an end, Ryan and Nicole planned to leave early, and many parents were fans of Nicole, and when she appeared in the auditorium, she looked at her more than the sunlight in the window.

"Ryan."

A middle-aged man with a beard walked over at this time, and it was the principal.

"Hello, Headmaster Simon."

Nicole was standing beside him, and Ryan could only obediently greet him.

"The star students of St. John's Elementary School are about to graduate, and I am really reluctant." The principal, who has always been very strict, made a joke.

"It should be said that a troublesome spirit and troublemaker are leaving."

Ryan only muttered a word, and then saw Nicole's pale blue eyes, and quickly closed his mouth.

"No, no, Ryan. Actually, we all understand that school doesn't teach you much more. Principal Simon waved his hand and looked at Nicole, "Miss Kidman, thank you for your donations to the school over the years. ”

"You're welcome." Nicole shook his hand, and Principal Simon prepared to take his leave, "Finally, I wish you and Ryan more and more success and glory in our careers. ”

"Let's go."

Nicole pulled him down, and the two of them walked towards the door of the auditorium, and two boys who were much shorter than Ryan walked over, "Ryan! ”

"Hello, Jerry, and Peter."

Although they have been estranged a lot in the past two years, these two people can be regarded as Ryan's only acquaintances in the school.

"Rui...... Ryan, we ...... We ......"

It seemed to be suppressed by Nicole's aura, Peter didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, Jerry had to say loudly, "Ryan, although we don't have a lot of contact, we are all your supporters, we will go to watch "Jurassic Park", you will definitely be able to defeat that ...... Tom? Cruise! ”

"Yes, Ryan, we've got your back."

More of the classmates came over at this time, probably after graduation, and they understood that the separation was imminent, and they were a lot friendlier and closer to Ryan, "We're all going to the theater to watch Jurassic Park!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Faced with this kind of scene, Ryan had no choice but to say thanks, "I promise that "Jurassic Park" is definitely more exciting than everyone imagined!" (To be continued......)
